Issam…
Thanks for your points here; they are useful for future development.
For now, the SanDisk works fine in eide mode in an x86 board. I have
some other problems, but at least I can use the SanDisk fine.
Thanks again…
Bests…

We are using a PPC system, and found that devb-eide (and associated modules,

they fail to properly recognize the partition. Sometimes when data is
written, the partition info gets clobbered. We tried this with QNX and DOS
partitions, with the same results.
I later found out when going through application notes from Sandisk, that
they do not recommend the use of these devices in IDE mode on non-intel
platforms – I haven’t yet tried the recommended memory-mapped mode, but
plan to do so over the next couple of weeks.

Could you be more specific?
What kind of Pbs?
We plan to use such solution (Compact flash + IDE adapter), and would be
glad to know the trouvbles before they arrive.
Thanks.

We have had lots of problems with Compact Flash in IDE mode (using the
devb-eide driver).

Miguel,
Is the Compact Flash configured so that it appears as an IDE hard
drive?
If
so, I can give you the benefit of my limited experience to date. I am
currently developing an embedded project with a Sandisk coupled to a
Geode
processor.

I have a compactPCI board with SandDisk compact flash on it.
I want to boot from the SanDisk compact flash, and I wonder if any
one
has experience with this? Are there any things that I should be
aware
of? Any success or failure stories that may help? I am about to
follow the instructions presented in the knowledge base, but I
wonder
if
any one that has gone through this before has any experience to
share.
Thanks.
Thanks…
Miguel.
