Ok, I've trawled through the mailing list archives, downloaded
the latest PAO suitable for 2.2.8 and successfully patched and
compiled the kernel and tools as per the instructions, heh yea
right, and I'm having problems getting a SunDisk SDP (4Mb) ATA
flash disk recognised....
Note my kernel is a 2.2.7 CVSUP'ed to -stable, then patched
with PAO.
I've got a PII/Celleron 300A desktop with an ISA PCMCIA interface
card with two slots - the following is my dmesg output:

I attempted card insertion with the following pccard.conf (stripped
down to be brief):
# Generally available IO ports
io 0x240-0x2e0 0x300-0x360
# Unavailable IRQs
ignirq 9 3 4
# refrain from using SoundBlaster's IRQ, by default.
ignirq 5
# Available memory slots
memory 0xd4000 96k
# SunDisk Flash ATA
card "SunDisk" ".*"
config 0x03 "wdc2" any
insert echo SunDisk Flash ATA inserted
remove echo SunDisk Flash ATA removed
and got the following (rather negative) results:
Card inserted, slot 0
Probe Failed
Return IRQ=7
Card removed, slot 0
Card inserted, slot 0
Slot 0, unfielded interrupt (0)
Probe Failed
Return IRQ=7
Card removed, slot 0

previously, when I had my cdrom on the second IDE controller, the flash
disk was configured, however the system froze for a good 5-10 seconds
while it was sorting itself out, and decided that the device in the
slot was actually a CDROM, amazingly with the same characteristics
as the fixed ATAPI CDROM.
I'm lost - is there some way to make this easier than it seems? :)
Any advice gratefully accepted.
Once I get this going, I'll ask the obvious horrible question, how
do I make an ATA flash card bootable :) (I understand that will be
BIOS dependant).
Cheers
Leigh
