I am trying to load Limey Linux on a CF but so far have been unsuccessful. I have tried all the setup steps on the app_rpt site. Everything seems like it works but the PC wont boot from any image that I copied as per the instructions. I tried several images from the limey Linux site such as (cfimg-i585-via-1.0.x, etc) untarred, dd'd to the CF etc. When booting, the HDD Led flickers as it accesses the CF but then the system hangs. This is a VIA EVEM mombo "carputer" running 512MB RAM and CF reader on 12v. I have sucessfully booted from the same CF if I use unetbootin app that extracts a distro as an ISO image to a CF or thumbdrive. DamnSmallLinux, as well as PCLOS work ok, and system runs fine on those distros. I want to setup LimeyLinux on this system as a diskless app_rpt node, but for some reason the images (or commands to copy to the CF) are not working for me. I am using PClinxOS and a terminal as root to do the commands. Any help or ideas form someone who has been successful in getting Limey to work on a CF? Thanks! Neil
