I've got two CF cards, one is 8GB in size which has Voyage MPD 0.8 and 
it's working fine for many months. I have a second one of 16GB so I've 
installed a fresh copy of Voyage MPD 0.8.5 to it. But on the first boot 
up (I use an Alix 2d2) I'm getting a grub error 18.  Error 18 from what 
I see means "Unknown file system".

So I took the CF card out and mounted it to my Fedora PC and df shows 
it's a ext2 partition as expected (since the instructions for the 
install has you do mkfs as ext2). So I'm not sure what's wrong.  Is 
there a problem with the 16GByte CF card being too big? That was the 
main difference I see between the 8GB card that works and the one that 
doesn't.
