Greetings,

I am trying to run the image provided on the page: 
http://www.openflow.org/wk/index.php/OpenFlow_AP_with_PC_Engine
Our lab has bought the same hardware as suggested by the tutorial. However, we 
are using 4GB Kingston compact flash drives instead of the 2GB one. After 
flashing the SwanWifi.img image on the CF card and trying to boot from it, I 
get the infamous GRUB Error 17 during bootloading.

I suspected whether the fact that I'm using 4GB CF card instead of 2GB makes a 
big difference. I also suspected whether the filesystem partitions has been 
properly installed or the disk properly formatted. When I use "fdisk -l" to 
peek into the content of the CF (through another PC with RHEL), I see four 
drive partitions, with a /boot/grub directory present on two of them. All the 
partitions types are "Linux". I tried playing around with the menu.lst and the 
device.map files but the error persists.

Also, is there any former steps that I have to do to flash the SwanWifi image 
into the CF card? I just assumed it was a regular image and used 'gunzip' and 
'dd' commands to flash it. The tutorial site already assumes that the image is 
properly flashed on the CF card, which in this case I believe has failed.

Did anyone encounter similar issues before or have any good suggestions?

Thank you in advance for your support,
