Hehe... I know I'm doing something wrong... The big question is what? :-)

The problem I was seeing is that many of the technologic modules were
rejected because they didn't match the kernel - even though everything I
had was for the ts11 kernel. So the CF card was not being seen at all; no
insert/remove event, nothing in dmesg showing it was even seeing the card.
I really wish Technologic would clean up the FTP site and reorganize it
so that it would be easy to find a kernel+modules for a specific board
easily. A subdirectory for each board, with the latest kernel and
toolchain that was used to build it would be good.
But... I'm making progress; I've got a working cross-compile toolchain,
adn I actually built a kernel that booted, even if it failed with the
"machine ID" problem. I've since found Matthieu Crapet's patches so
hopefully I will have a nice shiny kernel in a bit.
:-)
