Well, I have no idea other than replacing the card with a generally knwon 
working one. I had no problems with Kingston CF cards and if you prefer 
DMA-capable cards I'd recommend SanDisk ultraII. But if your CF-Connector 
hasn't the neccessary DMA hardwired lines you need to disable ata_dma, though 
it's working fine.
I'd perfer experimenting, using a rotating HD is no solution. Have you checked 
your card in any other (ata-mode) device? In what kind of hardware do you 
plug in your card, Soekris, EPIA, WRAP, or general IDE-CF adapter?
