I do something similar, although I found that not all compact flash
cards work. I have one which I cannot mount. When I insert it, I get
the message:
pccardd[110]: Card "CF"("032MB") [] [(null)] has function ID 4
(I just tired it on a system running 4.3-STABLE as of May 7).
Someday I'll dig through the source to see what this means.
My three other CF cards all work fine. The morals?
+ Learn to write entries for /etc/pccard.conf; every one of my CF
cards is different, even the two sold by the same company.
+ Just because you can't get one card to work doesn't mean they all
won't work.
Using a PCMCIA adaptor with the CF is really the way to go.
