The Soekris doesn't support all CF cards. This is a known problem. Soekris sells the SanDisk Ultra so I'd go with that. I had the same problem as you, as have others: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02918.html According to Soekris, Kingston doesn't seem to adhere to the CF standard all that well. One option was to set "FLASH=Secondary" in the BIOS. And, Soekris has a FAQ on this: http://soekris.com/Issue0006/ -- albert chin ([email protected]) _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
