Intel Desktop Board D102GGC2 will NOT see Lexar CF....

[jd6strings]

I have a brand new Intel Desktop Board D102GGC2 (actually 4 of them) and the BIOS does NOT see a 512 MB Lexar CF card connected to the the mobo via a IDE CF adapter and hence will NOT boot. The card/adapter works fine in many different systems I have lying around (i.e. Dell GX50).

I've updated to the latest BIOS and still no go. I've disabled SATA support and even tried Legacy ATA mode. Still NOTHING....

Any ideas out there?

Thanks!

If this is a new install, can you just leave the IDE CF adapter out till after
the operating system is up ?

Actually the system will boot from the CF....Linux. The CF adapter is NOT hot swap anyway.
