<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>i have a problem with booting lrp from
PC-Flash drive card...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>i will try to explain : card with 2Mb of
flash EEPROM from M-Systems it appear as HardDrive with msdos filesystem and can
boot as msdos drive well ... so i use syslinux to create linux 'boot sector' on
it and copy all files from lrp diskette (except syslinux.sys) and correct
boot=/dev/hda1 at syslinux.cfg (as it need to boot lrp from
harddrive).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>Now the problem - system start
sucessfully and load root.lrp............. (OK)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>then load </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>linux..(hang :( ) - 2 dots and
full-hang - no ctrl-alt-del only reset...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>when i try to load from diskette (PC-Flash
drive card inserted) it loads good - i think at least no conflicts with linux
code and 'flash-drive' code (it takes about 20...40 kb of conventional memory
when initialise itself)... good...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>the main question - i need only boot from
this flash card but not use it as hardrive (drive), are there any ideas
how to prevent system's hang ? may be create some 'additional ramdrive' and copy
there all .lrp files with kernel and then load from it ? does it mean i need to
modify syslinux for it ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>i see some patches for 2.2.16 kernel - can they help me or i use extremely
old flash card and these patches are only for DOC2000 and newer ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial CYR" size=2>thanx for any
help.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
