I missed something, is your kernel in the 512k romimage? > Now my biggest concern is that the target board has a 256k flash device.

IDE-attached CF works now for me on several platforms. I'm intrigued though, how small is your kernel again? Are you sure that a 512KB flash won't work in your board? the address lines might be there. ron _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
