I'll join the fun here. I dusted off my Mk2a and picked up a PATA<>mSATA adapter and a 500GB SSD.

Everything seems fine the v6 builder and either the v2.01 or v3a11 hijack upgrade files. I see /dev/hda4 (/drive0) as 495GB in df.

But... there's no ethernet. Switching back to the 100GB hard disk (spinning metal) restores ethernet. In chatting with Roger this morning, he suggested it might be a timing issue, since ethernet and IDE share a bus.

Anything I can try, or does this require hacking about in the kernel? Problem exists and is repeatable on both v508 (from the builders) and v518.

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!
