Well, after doing the GRUB MBR reinstall a dozen different ways I decided that it wasn't the software. I took the laptop apart and pulled the CF out, plugged it into my desktop through a USB-to-IDE connector, and it booted!
I can successfully boot and use the CF drive on the desktop but putting it back in the laptop results in the same problems. I guess it wasn't meant to be and this +10yr old laptop really is at the end of the road. :-/ Oh well. I have had my eye on the touchbook[1] for a while now. Maybe it is time to upgrade. Thanks anyway for your help and suggestions! [1] http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/touchbook/ ~Stack~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
