Well, I have no idea other than replacing the card with a generally knwon=20
working one. I had no problems with Kingston CF cards and if you prefer=20
DMA-capable cards I'd recommend SanDisk ultraII. But if your CF-Connector=20
hasn't the neccessary DMA hardwired lines you need to disable ata_dma, thou=
gh=20
it's working fine.
I'd perfer experimenting, using a rotating HD is no solution. Have you chec=
ked=20
your card in any other (ata-mode) device? In what kind of hardware do you=20
plug in your card, Soekris, EPIA, WRAP, or general IDE-CF adapter?
