rt reliance format I/O write error

[Adao]

Hello,

I'm trying to format a desktop PC with LabView RT 8.6 using a compact flash. I ran the compatibility check and all the hardware was compatible.

I then tried to format the  compact flash with reliance and it gave a "Error -1:Unknown drive I/O error".

I used a conventional  hard disk and the formatting and booting was ok. I formatted the compact flash in FAT and was successful. However when it booted the following error came up: "Bad ending kernel signature".

Does anyone know how to fix this? Do the compact flashes have to have any particular characteristics? Speed, size??

Thanks,

Adao

Hello Adao,

I'm not sure to understand everything.

Is the compact flash the hard drive of your computer?

Could you verify that your hard drive follow the desktop requirements for Real-Time targets?

Hello Olivier,

The compact flash is my hard drive. I've checked the link you sent me and the compact flash follows the RT requirements.

I´ve now tried 5 different types of compact flashes and none worked despite all of them passing the "LabView Real time desktop PC evaluator".

Do you have any idea why this is not working?

Thanks,

Adao

Hello Adao,

We've never seen anything special about Compact Flash non compatibilities.

It would be better, to be more efficient, if you could call the French technical support at +33 1 57 66 24 24, and ask for a support request.

Please, prepare the references of your compact flash hard drives for more investigations, and when asking for a new support, please give this SR number : 827292 for a follow up of what we already have done.

Thanks
