The reason why it's not working now, is because I get a message from the pata_cs5536 driver that IDE is disabled by the bios; and of course no option to enable it.
This is the same problem i had with the S50. The problem is that the bios has configured the CS5536 for flash(board). You have to enable the flash driver in the kernel(MTD? i think) It is not a usual ide device.
Also, I can boot a Ubuntu 10.04 USB stick (syslinux basically) and pxe with the module present, but I cannot seem to boot a USB stick with just grub on it, if the IDE module is in place. I think grub tries to probe the IDE device, but fails or is on an extremly long timeout. Strings revealed usernames, hostnames etc used by the OS/rdp/ica clients in the bios.rom I extracted; I cannot belive a flash image somewhere would write it's information into the flash chip. I'm very convinced that wyse OS is somewhere in the 2Megabyte flash and (even according to the specs) that is all that is available to the thinclient.
Ok the flashrom chip in the S50 is 256KB. In the S50 only the bios is in the chip. The operating system "Linux v6" is on the flashboard.
Interesting. Linux sees and can access IDE flash drive on S30 just fine...
Very interesting indeed; could I ask for your lspci -vvvnnn aswell so we can compare the 3? (Or am I being to greedy :)
