Hello people.

My assabet board is refusing to start up properly. It was working OK, then it
got unreliable, now it seems permanently broken.

What happens is that on power-up I get a short period of LED D4 (and also D11
lit dimly - if I hold reset down on power-up it stays like this until reset
is released), then it quickly lights D8 D9 and D11 and sits like that. I
don't get the characteristic D8 then D9 flashing 4 times as on sucessful
boot.

Does anyone know what this means the board thinks is wrong? I assume I could
determine this by perusing the angelboot code in the flash as supplied by
intel, but I don't know where to find this code. I see the Angel.bin in the
Jflash distribution, which may well be the same thing - it certainly looks
like sensible ARM code if disassembled, but is it the same version and is
there a more easily perused form (C or assembler-with-names?) somewhere.

Also one other (maybe dumb) question: 

I can't get a compact flash mounted. I am using a kernel compiled using the
'make config-assabet' config (and emdebian toolchain). If I plug a CF in then
cat /proc/<something>/01 (I've forgotten the details and now it's bust I
can't check :-| ) shows the card ready and detected when plugged in, and not
when it isn't, so that's OK, but if I try and 'mount /dev/hda1 /mnt' I get
'wrong major or minor device number'. Same for hdb1 or hda or hdb. The
major/minor numbers are what I would expect. I can't find any docs about how
this is supposed to work and this seems like the right rune (it works OK on
Linux on the Psion5). Am I missing something? What does this error really
mean? I was about to try it on the neponset intead/aswell when it died as
above so now I'm stuck.

I can pick at the entrails some more, but a few clues on both these subjects
would be most welcome.

TIA

Wookey
