That is my problem, I do not to what value should I set CE[3], namely mem_stadd3 register. which select the physical address that asserts the CE[3]. I think this should be set up by bootloader. I am using U-Boot, but I have checked also the Yamon and it does not work, also. > 2. turn on power > In my case, power on and card detect were wired to some GPIO pins, so I had to > switch them to the right level.

Yes. I am using kernel 2.6.15 and when I insert card into the slot, Linux detects it and turns on the power. I do not have the board here right now, so I'll post the messages from the cardmngr tomorrow. Thanks for the answers. BR, Matej
