[Voyage-linux] Lexar CF Professional - no boot device found

[Brian Anderson]

Don't know about the Lexars particularly, but I have observed the no-boot
scenario on some CFs when the power supply voltage is a little on the low
side. The unit will come up and act like all is well, but the CF will not
work. Just a suggestion.

Subject: [Voyage-linux] Lexar CF Professional - no boot device found

Folks,

I've been running Voyage on WRAPs for the last two years and have used both
San Disk and Kingston CFs (256Mb and 512MB) with zero problems.  
Just got in some 512MB Lexar Professional (Lt) 80x units for my latest
builds and am getting "no boot device found" errors. 

I did an A-B test of my load procedure ( starting with fdisk, mke2fs, tunefs
and the voyage.update) using one of the older CFs and the identical download
directory.  On one occasion, the Lexar did actually boot but after about 10
tries it has not booted again.  The Kingston works every time.

There are no problems indicated during any of the installation steps, only
the failure to boot when installed in the WRAP.  (BTW, the WRAP BIOS are
1.11)

Anyone else have this problem or have successfully used the Lexar CFs?

Thanks,

Edwin
