Just out of curiosity: are you just testing your Soekris box to it's
limits, or do you really want to use it this way? Or, hope you don't
mind a bit of friendly sarcasm: do you own a car and does it run on
diesel, petrol, LPG, solar power _and_ fuel cells? Simultaneously?

Come on, give your Soekris box a break! And CF card master/slave
problems have been reported over and over again on this list, better
consult the card manufacturers. A list of troublesome cards would
probably be a nice addition to the Wiki, but solutions for this issue so
far seem beyond the soekris-tech range.
