thanx for ur reply.
if u dont mind u want little more information about the problem.
wht do u mean by legacy floppy drive. if kernel can boot in that why not
on IDE floppy drive. i think booting process is done by bios program, i
dont think it depends up on kernel.why i cannot install & boot kernel
from the compact flash in newer kernels.can u pls give some information
about this.

Use a bootloader.
