Hi, anyone figured out where the problem is with OpenBSD & CF? I got myself a cardbus-CF adapter and tested it, the performance is pretty poor using two cards that worked with Linux (couple of years ago though, when I still had those) about ~6MB/s both reading and writing. The 512M card seeme

Hi list, I have got an interesting problem here. When I use a CF card on Geode LX-800 board, the performance is extremely low (about 1MB/s for reading). I suppose it is not a hardware problem: Under windows, the performance of read/writes on the CF is fine. This is what I get in dmesg: pciide0 a
