-Adam Sulmicki On the EPIA-MII the CF is part of the PCMCIA and does not connect to the ide bus at any time... So the only way I can get access to the CF is through ide-cs. I do have an adaptor on order (CD-IDE) to help with this issue, but I would much rather use the onboard CF. The less cables the smaller the case. -Adam Talbot

If I can boot off the onboard CF device what device does it come up as? still hde?
yes, ide.
Here is the problem I am running into: On the stock bios I can not boot off the CF, so I boot off a hard disk. Well, when I add linuxbios, the system will be asking for data before
the
hard disk will be ready. My hard disk has a 5~7 sec spin up time. So in
turn
I plan to boot off the CF so solve this problem. OK, fixed the spin up
time
problem, but brought up a new problem. My current kernel config loads
the
ide-cs (access to the CF) after software suspend 2. So software suspend
does
not work, as it can't read the software suspend file during boot;
ide-cs is
not loaded yet, and I don't know how to change the device loading order
in
the kernel.
ide-cs ? that's part of pcmcia, it shouldn't have anything to do with cf at all if you are are connecting CF via IDE bus (which is the way you should do it, and which should the the way if it is on board cf device). _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list Linuxbios@clustermatic.org http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
