Have you installed a 16M RAM module (for use with the S7) in the spare RAM
bay? The 32M netBook RAM module won't work with the S7 16M RAM card. For a
netBook you can only have a 32M or 64M version not 48M.

Hi Richard,

No, I have a 32MB Ram module (so I have a 48MB series 7, which works just fine)

Thanks

Sounds like your compact flash card is not compatible with the
Netbook. Try loading OS.IMG using another compact flash card.

Some types of compact flash card cannot be used to boot the Netbook.

Indeed my Crutial 128Mbyte compact flash will not boot in an Mbook,
but works in a Netbook !
