Hello,
I have tried to upgrade the hard disks of my riocar Mark2 to a bigger hard disk, but the more I tried the bigger the trouble was. And now it's not possible to run the empeg even if I put back my old disk.
I have tried several disks from 10, 20, 40 to 80 GB but there is always no hard disk found. I also tried to change the IDE Cable of my old Mark 1 Player to the Mark 2 Player, but it helps nothing. The hard disk in my old player works fine and I could run the diskbuilderimage and the developerimage and everything is fine.
Could anybody see in my log what the problem is?
I'm trying now since Monday to reanimate my empeg!!!

If there is anyone present who wants to upgrade the flash, let them speak now,
or forever hold their peace...it seems not. Let fly the Penguins of Linux!
