Re: Booting sandpoint from ide disk

Actually the worst thing is that I did not write anything to flash. I was just
considering to write zImage to flash. I just shutdown the linux running on
that board (booted with bootp) to get into dink and it just did not work
anymore.

Instant need for booting from ide disk seem to have gone away :( Dink32
does not start anymore at all. When I restart the machine nothing comes
through the serial cable (settings are correct). I have not touched to
any board switches. Red leds on the altimus board are as follows:

Were you trying to put the kernel in flash or something?  If you've got
access to HW debuggers (like the Abatron BDI) look at what's at
0xFF00_0000, it should start off with a bunch of nop's.

Ah, I guess I should have said, "Don't overwrite DINK" if that's what you
did. If you overwrote DINK, you'll have to find a ROM burner & a copy of
DINK and put it back on the FLASH.  After that, you can put the zImage
either further back in that FLASH where id doesn't overwrite any other code
or better yet put it in the secondary FLASH.
