Cf Card Setup- Please Help

[mickeyboa]

I'm having problems of mounting CF card on my laptop , if I run fdisk on my laptop it tells me that the CF card has a fat16 (6) partition , but I get the error below if I do a    mount -t vfat /dev/hde /mnt/ide
I'am trying to get Ospack on the CF card so I can update my rom to 3.1 on my Zaurus SL5500
Can someone please help.

You sure it should be /dev/hde?

In any case you'll probably want to change the command line to add in the partition, e.g.:

mount -t vfat /dev/hde1 /mnt/ide

I still can't copy to the CF card.
What command will unzip this file 5500v31c.zip, using tar -x or gunzip -d won't unzip it, I get
errors

gunzip -d 5500v31c.zip
gunzip: 5500v31c.zip: unknown suffix -- ignored

tar -x 5500v31c.zip  just sites there like it's running, but doing nothing.

It's a zip file so use 'unzip'

I cannot copy anything to this CF card, and when I boot laptop I have entry in /media/LEXAR_MEDIA
but I can't copy anything to it.
This a 40X CF card. The CF card is mounted in a pcmcia adapter, and plugged into a pcmcia slot in my laptop.
In my /etc/pcmcia/config file, below is the entering for the CF card, is this correct?

card " LEXAR ATA FLASH CARD    ", "TWISTER", "TTE01"
  manfid: 0x4e01, 0x0200
  function: 4 (fixed disk)
  bind "ide-cs"

I have shown what was happening during boot in /var/log/messages
As you can see the CF card is being reconized at boot, but I can not copy anything to it.

What does 'mount' show?

Are you root when you're trying to copy to it? What error message does it give you?

In fstab I had to enter ,   user,uid=<yourusername>, notime  at the beginning of options line.
That solved the problem.
