Hello,
I just got an IDE adaptor for compact flash cards with a few different
compact flash cards (Sandisk 32MB and PQI 32MB).
Is there a special driver needed to make these work with Linux 2.2.12 ?
When I try to fdisk the device:
fdisk /dev/hdb
I get the error message
hdb: drive cmd: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}
hdb: drive cmd: error=0x04 { DriveStatus Error }
It seems like these are slower than the IDE driver expects or
something like that maybe...
I can Fdisk the device, then when I format it as ext2, the partition
table gets trashed. My BIOS settings are set to AUTO detect and
the drive information is read when I reboot. However, If I change
these settings and play with the LBA / BLOCK mode / CHS stuff - setting
these to the values detected by the BIOS, *sometimes* it just hangs
the system.
Any clues on what to do next ?
Thanks in advance,
