4gig cf cards- mount problems Options

[arthuregg]

So in the effort to create a an amazing little workstation (and to decrease ipod envy) I got myself a 4gig cf card (hitachi 4gig microdrive).

I'm curious if i managed to get the correct one- as the one I have is being stubbern. It mounts on my desktop just fine, but refuses on the zaurus. While the card manager sees it as "anonmous memory" attempts to mount it (mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf) fail. attempting to fdisk it, doing some thing like:

fdisk -l /dev/hda

nets me nothing, while

fdisk /dev/hda

fails to open the device.

does anybody have any experience trying to get one of these cards to work that can point me in the right direction? I've tried mounting it both under cacko1.21 and oz3.5.5 and 3.3.6

I'm trying the same thing with a Hitachi 4Gb microdrive from a muvo.
It's a white label, 44c barcode model (latest and greatest from Hitachi :-)

c86o with Sharp 1.40-JP rom.

I get pretty much the same results:
1) device insertion/removal is recognised.
2) the system logs '<<<< Init_Module PASS >>>>'
3) fdisk won't open /dev/fda

I stuck the same drive into a Windows 2000 CF Reader, and it formatted as FAT32, so the drive is alive.

I just need to figure out how to get the Zaurus to load the right module........
