System Will Not Boot From Hard Disk Drive With Unused CF Card Installed
Issue:
On systems on which an unused Compact Flash (CF) card was factory installed, on the first reboot a blank screen appears after BIOS/POST, the system does not boot the installed OS, and the system hangs.
Affected operating systems and software:
  • All supported operating systems

  • Supplemental Releases 1.0 through 2.8.1

Workaround:
Use BIOS to modify the boot order so that the system will boot from the desired hard disk drive, not the Compact Flash. To modify the boot order:
  1. Go into the BIOS Setup menus (F2 during BIOS POST) and navigate to the Boot tab.

  2. Go into Boot Device Priority and change the boot order.

  3. Press F10 to save the new settings and exit from BIOS Setup.
