Plop freezes when trying to boot anything (even local drives)

[sebastian]

Hello,

I'm trying to boot Linux from a USB Flash Drive, while my BIOS supports only USB Floppy and IDE CD (no DVD) Booting.

Plop (5.0.13) starts fine from both CD or USB Floppy, but it will freeze no matter what I try to boot, even my local HDD partitions:

Code Select Expand

...
checking boot sector
found valid boot signature
->freeze (Windows NTFS and FreeBSD Partitions on IDE Disk)

Booting from USB:

Code Select Expand

...
port 3: device connected
mass
storage device
loading boot sector...
->freeze

from CD (i.e. plop re-boot itself):

Code Select Expand

...
wating for the drive...
loading boot sector...
->freeze

Is there anything more I could try, some debug output etc.?

It's a Gericom/Uniwill N251S5 laptop with AMIBIOS EC591, Version 1.06GM (from ~2003, latest available from Gericom... )

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sebastian
