Hi, Today I want to boot the L4/Fiasco/L4Linux in the CF card. I copy all the necessary files into the CF card and install the Grub-0.97-os.1 in this CF card. My test machine is a VIA development board and in this board the CF card is connected with this machine by the IDE plugin. My grub menu.lst is as following:
title L4Linux26/Fiasco+dope kernel (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/bootstrap modaddr 0x06000000 module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/main -nowait -nokdb -serial_esc -comspeed 115200 -comport 1 module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/sigma0 module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/roottask task modname "bmodfs" attached 4 modules module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/names --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/log --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/dm_phys --isa=0x00800000 -v --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/simple_ts -t 300 --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/rtc --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/l4io --noirq --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/l4exec --events module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/l4dope --l4io --menubar --transparency module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/loader --fprov=BMODFS linux26.cfg module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/bmodfs module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/vmlinuz26 module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/linux26.cfg module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/libloader.s.so module (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/libld-l4.s.so vbeset 0x117 506070
In the PC I have tested this configuration file and it is ok. Wh en I boot the VIA machine I choose the only one option to have this results. Booting L4Linux26/Fiasco+dope kernel (hd0,0)/boot/L4Linux/bootstrap

Maybe the CF card reader is not fully ATA compatible? Maybe it emulates SCSI? Even if it emulates an ATA drive, are you sure it is visible as (hd0) to grub? Maybe you have to change the paths.
