I had similar problems with almost the same setup because of devfs, and specially because of devfsd (the devfs deamon). I suggest you try first to disable the devfsd, and then disbale devfs completely. I think there are very ugly race conditions there that only appear on a "fast enough" CF card. If you're not using devfs, then I don't know what the problem is... :( -- Paulo Marques - www.grupopie.com
