Sure 'nuff, I see it there. Ugh!

So then that begs the question, why am I getting this:

>> JTAG controller couldn't read configuration from the CompactFlash

interrupting (and killing) my Linux boot? When I take that code
back out, the spurious error interrupt does not happen. Do you
use the SystemACE in your Linux environment after/during boot?

On my side, I'll press the issue with Xilinx and see what they
have to say.

BTW, the Linux SystemACE driver that is apparently written by
Xilinx does not go through this reset cycle in its block read.
