My only question is does /dev/hda1 exist in the device file system? If this does not exist not amount of trying will get this to work.

I am using a custom 823 board running ppcboot 1.1.6. I have added support for FAT file system here and have been able to load the linux kernel from a compact flash card (meaning the pcmcia interface is configured and working properly). The problem I have is in getting Linux to recognize the IDE interface properly and let me mount the drive. I am using the Linux kernel from www.denx.de that has the version 2.4.4 (2002-08-09) with all the support for the 8xx pcmcia/direct etc... code. When Linux boots (using NFS remote filesystem) it comes up and prints the following: <misc deleted> ... Kernel command line: root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=192.168.0.120:/ppcroot nfsaddrs=19 2.168.0.20:192.168.0.120 init=/bin/bash idebus=25 ide_setup: idebus=25PCMCIA slot B: phys mem e0000000...ec000000 (size 0c000000) Card ID: SST 48CF032 55LD017-A2 FW17-4C Fixed Disk Card IDE interface [silicon] [unique] [single] [sleep] [standby] [idle] [low power] ... <more stuff deleted> ... Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.31 ide: Assuming 25MHz system bus speed for PIO modes ... and finally gives me a shell prompt. In the above, the Kernel seems to recognize the card as being an SST-based flash card. All seems okay but the IDE device does not appear in the /proc/devices listing. Also, I can't mount a filesystem (probably because the IDE doesn't seem to have installed completely). The card I am using has a DOS filesystem on it with a few files that I added. My /etc/fstab has the following entry: /dev/hda1 /mnt/flash msdos noauto,owner 0 0 Using make menuconfig, I set the following: under IDE, ATA and ATAPI Block Devices: <*> Enhanced IDE/MFM/RLL disk/cdrom/tape/floppy support [*] MPC8xx IDE support (8xx_PCCARD) Type of MPC8xx IDE interface under File systems: <*> DOS FAT fs support <*> MSDOS fs support <*> UMSDOS: Unix-like file system on top of standard MSDOS fs <*> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support Questions: - should the device really be hda1 ? - is there something more that I forgot in my board config header file for setting up pcmcia?
