<br>
I used to boot perfectly for quite some while from a 160GB 2.5" hard
drive combined with a 8GB microdrive in the CF slot. It worked without
a problem, but I had to configure the microdrive as the master and the
2.5" as a slave, because the microdrive wouldn't work in slave mode.
But I was booting from the 2.5" hard drive. (also notice that I had to
upgrade the bios for the alix1c as it couldn't recognize my drive as it
was bigger than 128GB)<br>
<br>
I'm not using this setup anymore because my microdrive is not working
reliable anymore. I don't think however this is related to the story of
angler31, my setup lasted for almost half a year. The microdrive just
died because the power management couldn't be configured completely and
it kept on doing a spin-down and spin-up every 60 seconds. I was quite
surprised the microdrive survived more than a year in that modus (I
used to use the microdrive alone before I bought my 2.5" drive)<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Tom<br>

<br>
<br>
I have decided to upgrade my Alix board to 0.6.1 of Voyage and at the
same time looked at adding a 2.5" drive to the board to keep some rw
info that previously I have had to push out across the network.
<br>
<br>
So, taking a fresh new install of 0.6.1 on a 4GB CF card I can boot the
Alix 2-3 card just fine. If though I plug in a 2.5" drive into the
header on the alix board it boots, loads the kernel and the freezes
part way through loading.
<br>
<br>
I am guessing that maybe either the hardware doesn't support CF and HDD
operating at the same time, or something in the kernel is getting
confused.
<br>
<br>
Just wondering if anyone is running anything similar?
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
<br>
Matt
