I recently finished work on u-boot to get it to read a compact flash properly on the AU1500. Now I need to get it working under Linux as well, but have a few questions. Is root fs on CF supported under 2.4.22? I have had conflicting reports on that, and need to know if that has to be solved first. I have been told that user space Card Services needs to be loaded to detect the CF card, but that doesn't seem right with the ide-cs in the kernel. The problem with the AU1500 and u-boot was that the AU1X00 series processors always put the data from the CF in big-endian mode regardless of what endian mode the CPU is running in, which is exactly the wrong way around for reading partition tables and filesystems. I have been having trouble tracking down where in the kernel the actual reads are done from the compact flash card, could someone point me to the right place? Ed Okerson
