there should be no 512m limits.

there is a limit of 2gb on fat filesystem.

please try read/write to the cf drive, and bypass the fat.

dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda

I typed the dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null

the output was:

hda:hda1

2001888+0 records in

2001888+0 records out

after I typed: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda

hda: hda1

/dev/hda: No space left on device

2001889+0 records in

2001888+0 records out

I tried using the CompactFlash in FAT and ext2, I got the same results, can not write more than 500MB to the disk.

Is it normal for the LEDs and the 7-segment displays to be counting? I did not write a routine to do that, and as soon as the system is up, it start counting.

Thanks for the input
