You have to start your system with the usb you used originally for boot and install AND the cf card where the system is installed.

then you have to switch to root after login and reinstall grub,

for me it was:

grub-install –recheck (hd0)

On the advanced part of the installation I put (hd2,0) because the CF is recognize as hdc1 but it doesn't work. Thanks a lot for your answer. Hi Graham,

I have a hard drive and a compact flash card for my MicroClient. It seems that only 1 of these can be used at once (maybe there is only IDE channel available in the BIOS?). I will investigate this further. Good Luck, Graham Hi Enguerran,

Helpfull ! I got my MCSR and installed Xunbuntu on a CF card. Everything works fine, but my hard drive isn't recognize, not even in the BIOS. It's connected on the internal IDE port. So my question : did you try to have a hard drive on IDE and a CF card work at the same time ? I'll maybe try to connect it using a USB external hard drive "box". W&S. Thanks in advance.

It is very much appreciated. :-) My MicroClient Sr. is up and running here in the UK, so I am happy at least! For those reading this that don't know, Michael is the President of Norhtec!

We respond to all e-mails all the time but there is a chance some e-mails get lost in the Spam filter. The Sr is a very new product. We are getting units out the door but it is slow for exactly the reasons expressed here. Microsoft buy 3/4's of the board production for a one time buy to give out to an embedded contest they are sponsoring. We expect shipments to increase soon.

So Microsoft are the source of the delays! Norhtec customer service said that they had experienced unexpected delays in getting hold of the boards when I was waiting for my MicroClient Sr. You may want to join in the fun at the MicroClient Fans forum at http://microclient.free.fr/ Thanks for visiting, and check back soon :-) Graham Hi Ruben, thanks for your comment.

Apparently it has been delayed because Microsoft bought up 3/4 of the initial motherboard production. I had a bit of a play with it today. I booted it into Debian off a USB dongle. Now I just need to get a hard or CF drive to stick in it. Thanks for your article. Cheers Ruben I ordered my MSr in mid December and it arrived a couple of days ago.
