Cf Card Not Recognized

[donaldfr]

When I turn the machine on, it freezes at the time-set screen.  If I try to set the time, it immediately freezes and will not unfreeze even when left on for many hours.  If I hit cancel, I am taken to the tabbed icon pages.
 
However, it will not recognize a cf card.  When I put the card into the slot, no icon appears.  
 
At the terminal command line, if I navigate to /mnt/cf, I can see the drive.  But if I type,
 
mount cf
 
I get a response of,
 
not available
 
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!

I seemed to have fixed this by removing, then re-installing, all the software.  

Never mind. . . .
