Greetings list- I've been using Clonezilla for quite some time for cloning and otherwise making whole disk backups of my systems. I just tried to write an image to a CF card for a small embedded system I'm working on. During bootup, the system hangs on a bunch of DMA errors related to the CF card. I've tried many different kernel options at the GRUB prompt including "ide0=nodma", "ide=nodma", "ide1=nodma", "nodma", etc all with no avail. One of the options simply made my card 'disappear' when selecting a disk to write from the Clonezilla menu.
What else would you look at? I understand that with CF cards, they may or may not support DMA depending on the type of flash, age, etc. Regardless, isn't there a way to simply turn off DMA altogether and still use the card in PIO mode? Disk access speed is not of consequence for this project...
