Just recently I've discovered that CF cards have problems with DMA. I've never used pcmci so I dpn't know exactly if it's possible to do something with the dma but it's an idea to check. If it's a driver issue and even if it's not I think the kernel or debian kernel people would be better help. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
