Hi there

I tried to use a sandisk Compact Flash 4GB with a SATA adaptor as a small SSD.
When I go F2 to BIOS settings a can see the Compact 4GB as a primary drive.

But when I boot my Linux, installed on USB key and SD card, I can't see any device related to the 4GB disk.

I've looked in /proc/partitions , /dev , blockdev --report , nothing new shows up , only the SD card and USB key.
I've tried different settings for this SATA drive in BIOS.

Note: the Linux is booting on USB key (couldn"t manage to boot on SD) and it was installed before I add this custom SSD.
The boot order is SD, USB key, SATA.

Thanks for any help...

Has anybody succeeded with the same hardware ?

Hi,
Do you see any messages in dmesg related to your 4G SSD?
What happens if you plug any other storage to the sata adapter? May be 2.5'' hard disk?

I've just installed the new Mageia 1 Linux on this CF card, it's ok for the installation itself.
The problem is that it won't boot
Please close this thread, I'll write a new topic, this is an another problem now...
