Hi !
I have a question about ide-compatible flash-cards.
The one is a KINMAX KCF008M which works fine and the second
is a SanDisk SDCFB , both officially 8MB..., the second card
can be mounted formated writen too but I can't get it to boot
from that card , I only get
01 01 01 01 01 01 ....
on the screen at boot-up.
Now can anybody point out why one is bootable and the other not ? and how
can one tell which one will be bootable and which one will not ? Both are
detected in the BIOS without any problem (one as (CHS) 250/4/16 the other as
(CHS) 245/2/32).
thx !
hofrat

If memory serves (and if your attempting to use lilo ) this would be a disk
geometry error generated by lilo itself. Maybe you could pass the disk geometry
to lilo?
