I'm suspect of the CF card myself. The CF that was inserted was an 8 Meg
Flash. I have a 32 Meg Flash chip that I'll try later. The flashing
green light, without a card installed, for the CF port leads me to think
the card reader is shot.
The lockup at checking hardware related to kudzu and the long delay that
fdisk -l experienced (kudzu disabled) concerns me.
Thanks for the suggestion
Jim
