I've installed different board, it's not booting either. Both boards I've tried had i430VX chipset on them, I'm no longer sure about the original board (can't get it to boot, sure that it will not work after picking it up from trash) Are there any bugs in 2.2.10 connected to VX chipset? Andrew -

Most of the time when I see this problem, it is because there is no support for the drive compiled in the kernel. Did you check the following under the Block Device section of menuconfig when compilinf the 2.2.10 kernel? Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support Include IDE/ATA-2 DISK su
