Thanks for the response Ben. 

I have put the driver you mentioned in my linux source and added the
necessary information in the Kconfig file and the Makefile. So, I am now
able to build the driver when I make my kernel image. However, I can't
figure out what else needs to be done in order to actually use the
driver for my compact flash device. Do I need to specify anything at the
kernel command line, or do I need to modify any other config files?
(Below is the ide portion of my linux .config file)

Thank you for your help so far, anymore help/direction is greatly
appreciated.
