When you say "appear as", what evidence should there be? All I have is a green LED on the dongle. Doing mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 gives "No such device or address" with any CF card. Any other useful commands?
The dongle is labelled jumpSHOT - "Works only with USB Enabled CompactFlash". None of my CF cards say anything about being USB enabled. Could that be the problem? Do I need a smarter dongle?
[allena29@elsol linux]$ grep -i -r "Jumpshot" * arch/parisc/configs/c3000_defconfig:CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT=y arch/ppc64/defconfig:# CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT is not set arch/ppc64/configs/g5_defconfig:CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_JUMPSHOT=y
Not got any time to dig deeper on this, but I had remembered seeing JUMPSHOT in the kernel source. It may be that you don't have the required module loaded or built-in with your kernel.
I have a vauge recollection that my Dads CF reader is a re-badged JUMPSHOT which doesn't work at all.
