Q TC on Dell Laptop Part 2

[lha_user]

I decided to try an install on my Laptop, on a CF card.
I do have a DSL installation on a CFcard, working fine
since 3 years in daily use, so that was my inspiration to
try TC, in the same manner.
I installed TC2.10 on a new CFcard, followed the instructions
and it all went well, installed a couple of apps. from the repository, browser
epdfreader and some other stuff and they all ran fine, network access was immediate and
automatic. Booted and tried the apps a couple of times, everything
OK. No errors in the logs. The next day the scene was different...
Applications were lost, the error in the logs were plenty and
they all referred to "attempt to access beyond end of device" (hda1).
A check with fsck.ext2 shows + 100 errors on the CF-disk.
So, I am more or less giving up, but I am wondering why DSL
still works fine ? Is it the kernel 2.6 that needs some extras or is
it really an incompability issue with the CF card ??
If someone has any ideas I will try a second time.
PS: TC is not to blame, it was working great so it has to do with
some incompability issues in the kernel, that is what i think anyway.
Suggestions, anyone

Could be the card is getting old. There wasn't any unclean shutdown or crash?

Well, the card is 3 years old but never used, not even opened from
its original package until now. I bought 2 pcs 1 GiB Kingston at the same occasion
-the other one is happily running DSL (which I am using right now).
Could be that  the Cf card was bad from the beginning.

I had no crash and no errors, all shutdowns were normal.

It is very strange to me, like the CF-disk lost many of its sectors during one night
of power-off. Maybe it is really  a faulty CF.

I will see if I can shop a new one tomorrow and give the whole thing another try.
