Interesting. What payload are u using? I have been using etherboot which is pretty stable. However, Filo will be my next target.
Filo works very well. I am working with Takeshi to put bzImage boot into it also.
Actually, my ide problems were with filo, but the ide code is the same, I think-- it all is from etherboot AFAIK. My CF drive works (128M) but 1.2G WD Caviar fails.
There are slight differences between the ide code from my etherboot patch (i believe this is where takeshi took the polled ide code from) and the polled ide code in etherboot development branches. If you're having trouble with one, it may be worth trying the other. Takeshi really did a fine job with Filo and I'd like to see if replace my etherboot patch for its admitted hackishness alone :)
