Hi.

Yes, I have done that a couple of times in the past. It's rather slow though, and in the end I settled for a IDE to CF adapter instead.

Can you post some details on how you were doing that. Did you use USB CF?

Best wishes,

vedran

Hi.

Since the Gentoo Wiki lost their database, I can point you to their back-up:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/Genesi_Efik ... _usb_stick

This will help you find the right firmware commands.
I still have my older Efika images here:
http://robotics.puv.fi/efika/ (including a small one)

You can extract these on a ext2 formatted USB flash drive. (you still need a kernel too, but I suppose you have one?)

I still have an older kernel here:

Hope this helps.
If you have any problems, don't hesitate to ask - I'll do what I can.


Best regards,
Johan
