From: Krzysztof Walkiewicz on 27 Apr 2010 09:40 Hi list, I try to install 16GB CF card in HP 5700 terminal via IDE cable and adapter IDE--->CF. The problem is, that BIOS doesn't see this card. What I overlooked? Any suggestions are welcome! Krzysztof. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The problem is, that BIOS doesn't see this card. Is that a "thin client"? The BIOS should not see/detect the card "per-se" (adapter device is handled transparently by the system) but in a normal situation¹ you should be able to boot from IDE devices -whatever IDE bus has attached on it-, is that is your goal. I would ask HP about this. You may need a special/concrete adapter or juts it is not even an option. Also, check is the adapter is "in good shape" and works in another system. ¹ Normal situation: I mean, using a standard BIOS/motherboard. HP -as many integrators do- modify/adapt computer BIOS to play nice with their systems. Being this a "thin client", I would expect even a more integration performed by the manufacturer.

I solved the problem - it was a jumper that I needed to switch. But now I have another problem: During booting I have an error: dma_timer_expiry: dma status == 0x21 then, debian installer starts, byt after I set up partitions I get a message that system wasn't able to mount them. I try to install the system (Debian Lenny) from USB stick, via SYSLINUX. Am I nedd to add "ide=nodma" to the syslinux.cfg file? Maybe somebody had same problem?

It seems many people faced that problem (as a quick Google search suggests): <http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#hl=en&source=hp&q=dma_timer_expiry%3A +dma+status+%3D%3D+0x21&btnG=Google+Search&fp=47a2ff188eff6511> Sorry I cannot give you a "fine-grained" advice, I never encountered such a problem :-?
