[Soekris] net5501: IDE (CF) troubles / network LED assignment?

[Richard Homonnai]

Hello!

As I said in my last mail, I got my shiny new net5501 yesterday. However more 
things popped up.

For the first, I can't quite understand the network LEDs... Are they wired 
like LED(n) = LINK(n) XOR ACT(n)? It seems like that.
Why not just LED(n) = ACT(n)? It quite puzzles me when an active box showS no 
seeable output at all (all LED's are dark under heavy routing, just the Power 
LED glows)

For the second, which weighs much more heavily, my CF freaked out yesterday on 
a daily backup routine. You can see the output here:

I had to reboot to get the CF again to work and then fsck hat MUCH to do...

Maybe my hdparm settings are far too wrong for a CF-card?
hdb_args="-d 1 -u 1 -c 1"

I hope someone can help me at least with the CF-issue ;)

Greetings,
Richard H.
