Hi, we are trying to use a Soekris net4526 with a miniPCI to Compact Flash adapter [1] but we are having two problems.
The first problem is that the card is not detected in comBIOS so i can not use boot 81 to boot from the Compact Flash card. To test the card really works we boot using PXE and it works (boots up). The second problem is that once we are booted up into the linux system the kernel complains about problems with IRQ [2] (not sure if that is fault of the motherboard or of the adapter or a combination of both) and when trying to copy things it ends up crashing the kernel. Yes, i've read the log and tried irqpoll, didn't work either. Any idea on if/how these things can be fixed?
