[Voyage-linux] Problem booting DD image

["Sascha Blümle"]

Hi Jim,

try to use lilo instead of grub. That works very good for me independently from any media issues already mentioned. I always do a dd to an image (e.g. usb-drive) and then back to an CF-card with same size or bigger. No matter about the physical geometry. Try it.

BR, Sascha
