The modules are:

usbcore
usb-uhci
scsi_mod
usb-storage
sd_mod

That order works for my USB CF Card reader anyway.

You might need usb-ohci instead usb-uhci depending on your hardware.

Be careful entering the module names, it's easy to mixed up with dashes and 
underscores.

I'm assuming that you know how to put the modules into /boot/lib/modules and 
modify the initrd package. It's pretty much the same as adding IDE drivers 
except you're using different modules and the drive should (hopefully) be 
/dev/sda1. The documentation is excellent, so check out the users guide, 
chapter 9.4 if necessary.

Incidently, if you can get this device working on a linux workstation, you can 
look at what modules it is using using lsmod and get these for Bering if what 
I've given you is not right.

I must admit, I think you're being brave trying this. You can get a CF reader 
that fits in a 3.5 bay from www.pretec.com - they call it a Digital Film 
Reader. CF seems to be used by a lot of people on this list and is easy to 
set up. Of course, it's your choice :-)

Like I said in the previous e-mail, I've no idea if this will work, it's only 
a hunch. Let us know.

best of luck

Darren
