I bought a Kingston cf/64 last weekend and got it to work. I added
this entry to pccardd.conf:
# Kingston Compact Flash Card
card "KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY CF CARD" "V5.00"
config 0x1 "ata2" ? iosize 16
insert logger -t pccard:$device -s Compact Flash Card inserted
remove logger -t pccard:$device -s Compact Flash Card removed
The insertion and removal events work just fine:
Aug 3 18:37:25 trurl /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
Aug 3 18:37:31 trurl pccardd[44]: Card "KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY CF CARD"("V5.00") matched "KINGSTON TECHNOLOGY CF CARD" ("V5.00")
Aug 3 18:37:36 trurl /kernel: ata2 at port 0x240-0x24f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0
Aug 3 18:37:36 trurl /kernel: ad4: 61MB <Hitachi ATA Card> [978/4/32] at ata2-master using BIOSPIO
Aug 3 20:09:02 trurl /kernel: pccard: card removed, slot 0
Aug 3 20:09:03 trurl /kernel: stray irq 11
Aug 3 20:09:03 trurl pccard:ata2: Compact Flash Card removed
The card is a FAT filesystem:
/dev/ad4s1c /cf msdos rw,noauto 0 0
The only problem I have with this card is that I can only insert and
remove once in between reboots. The second insertion works fine, but
as soon as I try to mount the filesystem, the entire system crashes
and burns--definitely NOT a desired occurrence! I've yet to write to
Soeren about it though. (I am going to try Soeren because it appears
to be an ATA problem rather than a pccard problem.) If anyone has any
suggestions, please toss 'em out here and I'll try them.
