Thanks for the reply.
The compact flash card does show up as a regular disk; under the commercial BIOS.
I'll get a new card tomorrow and wipe it clean and reinstall, see if that gets it going.
Make sure to delete the partition table before you reformat it as ext3. I've found that's necessary to make Grub do the right thing.
I wasted some time a while back having just reformatted the FAT partition as ext3 - Grub would not boot until I wiped the partition table and then created a new ext3 table.
Anyone know of an LPC flash emulator so its easier to develop the BIOS code - rather than plugging/unplugging flash chips all the time?
Do you have an LPC header? If so, you could look at the artecgroup dongle.
