I had something similar with mine and found that setting the linear (or maybe
compact) property in lilo seemed to fix it.
Hope it helps,

Subject: RE: Anyone using Compact Flash cards ?
Author: Parodi Fabio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: 3/9/00 8:03 AM
I am using the adaptor from SanDisk and a CompactFlash 32 on my Red Hat 6.1
PC. I had some problem because I forgot to drop the jumper from the adaptor,
so there was two IDE masters on the same connector. Now it works, I
formatted it as minix fx.
Now I'm trying to boot from the flash, but until now I only received kernel
panic. When I succeed I write an HOWTO. Does anybody has some experience on
booting from CompactFlash?
