Filo Error Help

Here are the results:
I took my known working hard drive and stuck it in the device to test
with filo.
The results were the same! Meaning a known working kernel & intird on
my hard drive failed at the initrd portion, again with the crc error.
I'm now going to try a basic etherboot test without filo to see if I can
read off of the
hard drive, just as a baseline.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
