Dont flame me - I have only just come back to this - and have already been told off for cross posting on my other thread which actually led to my creating this one - a more narrowly defined single issue i.e. disc controller not being recognised in tc!

Puppy picks up the CF drive / adapter like this;

ata1.00: CFA: CF Card, Ver5.04, max UDMA/100
ata1.00: 7454160 sectors, multi 1: LBA
ata1.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     ATA      CF Card          Ver5 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 7454160 512-byte logical blocks: (3.81 GB/3.55 GiB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA
sda: sda1
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk

Wheres as there is no such entry in tc

Both dmesg posted here http://www.custompc.plus.com/tc/

Can I just load at boot a generic scsi module onto the CF card - its recognised if I use
a USB>CF adapter under my full tc+ laptop desktop

Any suggestions help really appreciated!

The driver for the IDE chip you have there is unstable, so we have it disabled.

See these threads:

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks curaga - as an obv n00b - would you say that getting this working is beyond my skill set currently lol!
