[syslinux] Problems booting from CF

[Carlos Tous Ferrer]

Hi everybody,
 
It's my first time asking something here. I've a 128 MB Compact Flash
and I tried to boot up a Linux mini distro from it. This distro worked
previously from a floppy using syslinux, with the tipical initrd booting
system. Now I'm trying to boot it from CF, but I can't. By other side
I've another distro that boots from pxelinux that I want to make it boot
from CF as well, but when I try it from syslinux in a CF system hangs. 
 
I'm writing to the CF through a USB card writer from my laptop and it's
mounted as SDD1. 
Note: When I try to write with syslinux system, this tell me that the
number of sectors per track isn't a multiple of sectors, but I can force
it. 
 
Could anyone help me about it, or recommend some kind of way for making
boot a kernel+initrd system from CF ?
Are there any kernel parameter that must be compiled explicitally ?
 
Thanks for all and best regards
