How to get your net5501 to play nicely with your CF card and SATA hard drive
Some CF cards stop the net5501 recognising the SATA disk.
SanDisk Ultra CF cards made between July and mid December 2009 are affected by this.
To work around this problem:
- Set the CF card as the secondary drive
- Boot from the CF card
Step 1 – Set the CF card as the secondary drive
- Connect to the serial console on your net5501 with a null modem cable
- During the POST (power on self test), press Ctrl-P to enter the BIOS
- Type:
set FLASH Secondary
set BootDrive 81 80 F0 FF
reboot
Step 2 – Boot from the CF card
To automatically boot from the CF card, in Linux using grub as a bootloader, edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to look like this:
serial –speed=19200
terminal serial
timeout 5
default 0
title Linux with CF and SATA
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz root=LABEL=ROOT_FS console=ttyS0,19200n8
initrd /initrd.img
Or make the matching changes to your bootloader in other operating systems.
For added flexibility, you can add a second boot menu option with hd0,0 as the boot drive, which will allow you to boot if there is no SATA drive present.
If that’s all too hard, or it doesn’t work for your set up, you can return your affected SanDisk Ultra or Ultra2 card for a replacement. Please contact us first.
