as a matter of interest, what is geometry the report from >sudo sfdisk /dev/hdx
?
is it
| Code Sample |
Disk /dev/hda: 2063 MB, 2063597568 bytes
64 heads, 63 sectors/track, 999 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 = 2064384 bytes |

I get this after "sudo sfdisk /dev/hda":
| Code Sample | Disk /dev/hda: 245 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Old situation:
Units = cylinders of 8225200 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0. |
Beneath that it shows 4 partitions  , but hda2/3/4 are empty/0bytes in size. Get that with both the Lilo DSL as with the GRUB DSL (got them installed on sepperate CF-cards, Windows XP too, although XP didn't get to the 2nd part of the installation since it can't boot)
Got word back from MSI. They think that the PATA->CF adapter is incompatible with the motherboard. They've tried to use one too, only different one, but it works when they tried.
Curious what could be incompatible, since I can see, in the BIOS, the brand/size/typeofcard without problems. The PATA->CF adapter should display the CF-card as a standard harddrive, so no clue what could go wrong there.
Still no word from Mini-Box though, send another email (with some additions from what I've done/tried/posted here)...
