I expected to be able to solve this fairly quickly, but I'm stumped.
I have a Compact Flash memory card that I use in my Zaurus, and am trying to get it working on my laptop using a PCMCIA CF adaptor. When I insert the card, I get this from
dmesg:
Code:
hde: STI Flash S.1.0, CFA DISK drive
ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3
hde: attached ide-disk driver.
hde: status error: status=0x20 { DeviceFault }

hde: drive not ready for command
unable to read partition table
ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0
hde: status error: status=0x20 { DeviceFault }
I checked that the ide-cs module get loaded as it should and it does, and I've configured (for now while troubleshooting) my
/etc/pcmcia/ide.opts as follows:
Code:
case "$ADDRESS" in
*,*,*,1)
#INFO="Sample IDE setup"
#DO_FSTAB="y" ;
DO_FSCK="n" ;
DO_MOUNT="n"
#FSTYPE="msdos"
#OPTS=""
#MOUNTPT="/mnt/ide"
;;
*,*,*)
#PARTS="1"
# Card eject policy options
NO_CHECK=n
NO_FUSER=n
;;
I wasn't surprised that when I
mount /dev/hde1 -t vfat /mnt/card I get the typical "bad superblock....." error. I just can't figure out what's missing.
Sidenote: The config files and settings are the same on the Zaurus, and it has no trouble with that card. Add the fact that my CF wireless adaptor works flawlessly on
both systems.
There must be something obvious I'm not seeing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
