The standard 2.4 kernel from technologics has CF support.
So I suspect you are doing something wrong.
The CFcard should be partitioned, even if it only has one partition,
I use the fdisk utility on my linux desktop development machine.
You then need to build a filesystem on it. If you are going to boot from
the cfdisk, it will need to be ext2. When using mke2fs to create the
filesystem make sure you use the -I 128 option otherwise the partition
might not be mountable.
