the powerpc development tree of Linux 2.4, I am trying to boot my system from
CompactFlash using Xilinx SystemACE. My compact flash card has two partitions, a
16MB FAT16 that holds the combination FPGA image / Linux Kernel ELF file, and an
Ext2 partition that holds the root file system. The system starts the boot
process, uncompresses the Linux kernel and begins loading drivers. Part way into
this process, it conducts a partition check of the drive being reported to it by
SystemACE, however, it hangs at that point. No kernel panic, no error message,
it simply hangs. Here is the output at that point...<BR><BR><EM>Partition
check:<BR> xsysacea:</EM></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=058180021-16082006>what I am trying to
find out is if this problem has been seen/fixed in the past? or did I format the
CF card incorrectly?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
