Compact Flash Card in PCMCIA Adapter

[Felix Brack]

Is there anything I can do myself to debug this problem?

I still don't have any idea about where to look: is it the pcmcia
adapter into which I plug the CF card, is it the CF card itself or is
it a driver problem? I know that it might be a combination of all
three but I do not know how to go ahead to find and resolve the
problem.

Any tip?
