GL-->For more information, see http://www.lemis.com/questions.html GL-->See complete headers for address and phone numbers GL--> Well, that worked. I removed the irq 5, found that Linux was giving the CompactFlash irq 9, I didn't have irq 9 in /etc/pccard.conf as available irq's so I added it. My biggest question is how did you determine /dev/ad8s1 was the device id for that ? In looking at the /dev directory my last closest dev to the one you suggested I use was /dev/ad3s4 then it jumped to your successful entry of /dev/ad8s1 I'm confused and grateful.
