This isn't the geometry that the CF card reader reports, but what the CF card reports in true IDE mode. This will vary from card to card (even cards with exactly the same label). Unless your boot loader doesn't support packet mode properly, I'd strongly urge you to use packet mode. Last time I checked, the TinyBIOS used in the Alix boards does not support packet mode properly (but according to http://blog.brixandersen.dk/?p=94 this was 3 years ago, I'll try to find time to retest against a newer version of TinyBIOS).
