[Voyage-linux] Voyage Not Booting

[Punky Tse]

Andrew,

I think you need to reinstall the voyage again, and can only think of
the following possiblities that's make things wrong:
- There seems to have problem in lilo.  Do you run lilo explicity
under Fedora instead of running through chroot?
- The brand (or the chipset) of the CF is Toshiba.  Of course it
should not, but it may be the problem.  I am using SanDisk (and Biwin)
and is working fine.
- fdisk and mkfs.ext2 your CF card and install voyage again.  If it
didn't work too, you might need a Debian machine to do so, at least it
works for me everytime.

P.S. may be it is time for me to package voyage in a customized debian
in bootable CD.  So the user can install from the CD directly.  Any
volunteer?  Any reference or experience could help.
