Hi,
I get those types of errors once during boot if I use an inird with dd to
copy a partition into a ramdisk. This not only happens with CompactFlash
but also with some older 340MB 3.5" and 640MB 2.5" 'real' disk drives I
use for testing occassionally.
I have no idea what it means but it doesn't seem to have any impact on the
operation of the device.
During 'normal' operation I never ran into those errors with Compact
Flash.
TTYL,
Adi
