Hi Vicky,
I actually found a way to work around the problem I was having but I'm not
sure whether it's the same problem you have. I have a VIA mainboard with a
PC Card slot that I use for the WiFi and a CF-Slot that houses a memory
card. In addition to including support for Compact Flash /PC Card storage
(ATADISK) I was also including the ATAPI PCI/IDE Storage Block driver from
the catalog, because I boot from a 2nd CF-Card in an IDE-CF adapter. After
removing the ATAPI catalog item (and also the FATFS file system) everything
worked just fine. What causes this conflict I don't know yet but I hope to
find out soon. Good luck with your project.
