I have had success with a PNY CompactFlash reader on Mandrake Linux 8.1, but there are a couple of caveats that might be a clue for others having problems. The USB system recognizes the device as a CF Shuttle on /dev/sda, but when I insert the card it won't recognize it, even if I unplug from USB and replug. But if I reboot the computer with the card inserted the USB system recognizes the device as a Sun drive (note the device difference - it's the manufacturer name embedded in the flash card) and loads the storage driver on /dev/sda with the mount point as sda1, then it works perfectly. I wonder if there is perhaps a problem in Mandrake 8.1 because it won't recognize my IDE ZIP drive unless the system is booted with a disk inserted. I set up the fstab file as I had before with RedHat 7.1 and earlier versions. Does this give anyone clues? Hope this helps perhaps with other devices.
