I had a similar problem with my 8MB DOC. It seems the kernel probing did not detect the chip. In the kernel config file I had to hard code a memory address for it. device fla0 at isa? iomem 0xc8000 The driver does normally scan memory from 0xc000 to 0xde000. Make sure your jumper settings is in this range. Randal On 10 Aug 2001, at 10:15, Srinivas Dharmasanam wrote: > I was able to use the 64MB DOC from the DOS utilities from M-Sys and boot > from it.
