After some searching on the internet and this group, I found a 
similar situation:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ts-7000/message/1174

Andrew mention formatting with -O none option.

And ... this worked!

This is the option description:

-O feature[,...] 
   Create filesystem with given features (filesystem options). 
   Filesystems that may need to be mounted on pre-2.2 Linux or other 
kernels should be created with -O none (or -r 0 for Linux 1.2) which 
will disable these features, even if mke2fs is run on a system which 
can support them. 

I think it has to be with the kernel version I am using. 
I am a newbie so, can somebody tellme why Do I have to do this? 
according to the documentation (TS Arm Developers manual, page 5) 
when the system boots up, a "linux kernel" is loaded from flash (is 
this kernel than the kernel in the CF?) so this means that the "flash 
kernel" in the memory flash is really old?

Finally, I just have to add that, although the system is running 
properly, I still get this error:

> hda: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete 
Error }
> hda: task_no_data_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }

If anyone knows how to get rid of this I will really appreciate that.
