I downloaded and installed 3.0 RC9 onto a 256MB compact flash. The installer detected, formatted and installed all the options I selected but upon reboot the machine does not boot from the compact flash. It begins to load but stops with the “could not find disk!” error. Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?
We have the same problem with one another board from Intel. So we write to Intel Support and answer is, thet on new boards there is no boot support for CF. But in 3.x you can use USB…
I cannot boot any release3 from any media. Not even SATA, IDE, USB… it tried all, and always is a new problem. if I use CD for installing… after boot it says NOT CD FOUND. (ilogic, but true). If i use Netinstall, it installs fine over sata or USB, but later It doesnt boot.
I also couldn’t get any version 3 beta to boot on a x86 compact flash. I tried 2 different motherboards both running AMD/via chips. The kernel would start to load but then would seem to hang. I have 2.9.4x running on both these boards with no probs.
