Cannot Load NK.BIN by 2G bytes CF storage card

Hi,
I am porting WinCE 5.0 to x86 platform.
The NK.BIN I built is put in CF storage card, and it boots from CF card.
Problem is that it cannot boot from 2 G bytes CF card, but 256 M bytes CF
card is OK. I use the same NK.BIN to verify this issue.
Debug message as below,

It always stuck at IOCTL code 35 when I use 2G CF card to load NK.BIN.
256 Mbytes CF card doesn't have this issue.

Please help me to check what's the root cause of this issue.

thanks

A debug build might give you more information about what is going on.

Based little or no information available, I am guessing that it might be a
format problem, and that you are mounting as root or are using hive registry
on the CF card.

Hi Rick,

I had the same problem with 1GB CF Cards. With 128MB cards, everything
was OK.

Now I reduced the IDE transfer speed in BIOS settings of my x86-Board
to UDMA33 (33MHz) instead of default setting UDMA66 (66MHz).
Now all of my CF card types with different sizes and speed are working
well.

Best regards

Peter Kaluscha

Hi Bruce,
The image which remove HIVE setting can boot properly with 2GB CF cards.
The problem is the CF folder "Hard Disk" disappear in WinCE once using 2GB
CF cards.
I am debugging CF disappeared folder issue.
Any suggestion ?

thanks
Rick

Rick:

I made a suggestion yesterday, see if a debug build gives you any more
information.

Based on what you posted today, the disk isn't being mounted correctly for
your settings.
