I know it's ancient and minimal hardware, but I've been tinkering with
OpenBSD 5.5 on a Nokia IP260 with an 8GB compact flash. The OS was
installed on the compact flash using a card reader on a Dell laptop.
The OS boots and networking works as long as I specify the MAC using
lladdr in hostname.xxx and use duids. If you don't use duids the
partitions will not mount when the compact flash is moved from the
laptop to the IP260. But I see some errors on an 8GB compact flash that
I didn't see with a 1GB compact flash. Could it be the 8GB compact
flash is more than what the IP260 supported? Here's the dmesg
Could be.
I'm wondering if 4GB was the maximum supported since that's what I've
seen for the CF for other Nokia IP models made around the same time as
the IP260. The technical specs I've seen for the IP260 show 40GB as the
maximum hard disk, but it didn't specify a maximum for the CF. 1GB and
8GB are all I have at the moment though. Will have to see if I can find
one.

This looks more like pciide controller issues. Either it or the CF
aren't playing nice with each other. But once downgraded to PIO mode,
it appears everything has been slowed down enough to work again.
The controller probably doesn't like the CF. Is there a way to debug
this further to see if that's the case?
