Hi.. My empeg just started giving me the dreaded No Hard Disk found, contact support message, and I was wondering if someone could shed some light on the situation. I haven't had the oppurtunity to open 'er up and make sure that sometihng just isn't loose, but here is a capture from HyperTerminal. It looks like to me that my primary hard drive isn't being recognized, right? Or is something else going on here?

Note: I just opened it up and tried some things, my secondary drive seems to be working fine, on both ends of the ide cable. I could boot up fine with it set as primary. So that rules out the cable... I tried running the other hard drive (normal primary) on both of the ide connectors, and neither worked. I had this problem before, and I think it was software related, is there any way I can change the kernel of the hard drive that won't boot? :P (without just sticking it in my pc with a converter connector?)


If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
l.
Linux version 2.2.17-rmk5-np17-empeg52-hij
or forever hold their peace...it seems not. Let fly the Penguins of Linux!
