Try watching what's going on in /var/log/messages when you plug the CF card in: tail -f /var/log/messages If that doesn't reveal anything, check dmesg right after you've plugged it in to see if the hardware is being detected. It could be a udev issue, or it could be a hotplug issue, or a combination thereof. -- Aaron Gaudio <prothonotar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
