hi, Altoid:

Did you install the gentoo image as per the instructions on the page I linked to?
ie: gentoo.img uploaded to CMOS via etherlink and then configuring CMOS.
The boot disk in this CM-iGLX unit (ie: drive C:) is the on-board Flash Disk which holds the gentoo.img file.

i tried etherlink on bios, i got connected but the iso never complete transfering, i flash the gentoo.img on a usb and boot.

Devuan boots properly from an image burned on a CF card inserted into a USB-CF reader* and plugged into the unit?

yes CF inserted into a USB-CF on usb port boot, and pluged in the pcmcia compact flash adapter don't boot, but something more strange is that when i boot drom de usb-cf adapter and put another disk on the pcmcia-cf adapter in can see the disk with fdisk -l.

hi, steve:

Compact Flash (which I assume is what you mean by "CF") is pin-compatible with the IDE/PATA interface standard, and as such should be virtually indistinguishable from a traditional IDE hard disk. The specs on the page you linked do mention PCI and an IDE controller, but I see nothing about PCMCIA.

yes sorry, the pc us a pcmcia compact flash adapter, i'm not an expert but the problem is how load drivers beacuse when i boot normal and put a disk on pcmcia adapter i see the disk with fdisk

All that said, if your board uses the LX800, which it looks like is the case, you may well be SOL with any release newer than Jessie. Debian (and by extension Devuan) dropped support for i586 some time ago.

i try to install many distros only devuan works, its also nonpae.

i will try to send pictures for major undertanding.

i want help to configure corectly or install the drivers module in the correct order to recognize the pcmcia-cf adpter, i boot normaly with the cf-usb connected to the usb port and see a disk on pcmcia-cf adpter.

thanks.
