Thanks a lot sfzhi !

I'm sure I have such a cable somewhere, it's one of my old camera cables I guess.

I'll check the pinout

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. 8-) I managed to install the Mageia 1 Linux from the Live CD to the CF, which is seen as /dev/sda. No problem here. :) Grub setup on disk MBR, /d...

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...

I'm asking the same question...

Did you get an answer elsewhere ?

Has anyone tried Mageia on fitpc2 ?
This is a Linux Mandriva distrib fork and it seems the guy that worked on the video driver patch has joined the Mageia team...

I think we have the same sync problem, see my message here.

Has anybody succeeded with the same hardware ?

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. 8-) 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/...

Yes yogev_ezra I've seen your post a week ago.
(I prefered not to resort to the disk image trick and have a direct installation)

Thank you matt.
I tried a GRUB install also on the SD MBR, with the Mandriva graphical patched GRUB. It doesn't even reach stage1.
But as said before, I'll make my own 4GB sata SSD and it will solve my boot problem.
