1. Downloads
1. Download this kernel image here
2. Download this initrd image here
3. Download this params.txt here
4. Download linexec bootloader here
2. Move to CF
Copy all those files to the root of your non-working CF card. If you got an non-english jornada you will need to edit the params.txt.
Insert the CF in your jornada and doubleclick on linexec.
3. Boot Once inside linux environment run
sh /linuxrc
4. Extract Now lets find those strings:
cd /sys/bus/pcmcia/devices/1.0/
cat manf_id
cat prod_id1
cat prod_id2
5. Send mail with information Example:
Hi Kristoffer,
This is the information I got about my Sandisk Ultra II 4GB card
manf_id =.....
prod_id1 =.....
prod_id2 =.....
Please add support for kernel 2.6.X since it doesnt work for me there.
send to :kristoffer.ericson@gmail.com
Problems
If you cannot find the dirs above, please search through the /sys subfolders until you encounter the files, they usually reside below /sys/bus.
