If you have a known working unit, try swapping the flash into it and see if you get the same error. If another known working unit does the same thing, you probably have one of the 5501 boards with issues (RMA to resolve). If the error persists, it's probably bad CF. One other possibility... Did you image the CF or do the install from a different system? If you did, there are often disk geometry issues in the install, which can and often do cause issues, esp with boot loaders. The only safe way to make sure the geometry is correct on a load is to load on the exact same type of system (so in this case, another 5501).
Grub manual error code link: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Stage1_002e5-errors According to the grub manual Error 25 in stage 1.5 is... 25 : Disk read error This error is returned if there is a disk read error when trying to probe or read data from a particular disk. _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
