Well, I am making a little bit of progress here... My system is hard-locking sometimes now, which I think is a bad sign... But anyhow...
Here's where I'm at. I figured out some modules to install, and now dmesg reports this to me: paride: version 1.06 installed (parport) paride: epat registered as protocol 0 pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0 epat_init_protopda: Sharing parport0 at 0x378 pda: epat 1.02, Shuttle EPAT chip c7 at 0x378, mode 5 (EPP-32), delay 1 pda: Hitachi ATA Ca, master, 125184 blocks [61M], (978/4/32), removable media pda: p1 So... I think this is a good thing, cuz that means that it is seeing my 64MB flash card in there... And it is apparently device pda, and the first partition would be pda1... HOWEVER... In /dev/, there is NO pd* at all.... What do I do?
