    Hi, guys.

    This is a additional infomation.

    As I received a messege of re-insert, I tried to re-insert CF card.

    And, I typed following command.

    /> mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf

    mount: Mounting /dev/hda1 on /mnt/cf failed: No such device or address

    Thank you.

    Best Regards.

    Hi, all.

    I changed .sof file.

    So, Openning message changed like next.

    I have seen this messege in this forum, but there was not answer.

    Please help!

    CF: ctl=1

    hda: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive

    hda: no response (status = 0xff)

    hdb: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive

    hdb: no response (status = 0xff)

    CF register fails

    hda: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive

    hda: no response (status = 0xff)

    hdb: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive

    hdb: no response (status = 0xff)

    Thank you.

    Hi, all.

    I got successful for CF card.

    I connected detect_n to CD1_N by the SOPC Builder, reset_n_from_the_cf to PIN_U3 by the Pin Planner.

    And, I made a .sof file and .ptf file again, and I got a new kernel.

    The cause is as follows.

    CF: ctl=1

    hda: SanDisk SDCFJ-32, CFA DISK drive

    ide0 at 0x81211100-0x81211107,0x81211138 on irq 7

    hda: max request size: 128KiB

    hda: 62720 sectors (32 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=490/4/32

    hda: hda1

    Command: mkdir /mnt/cf

    Command: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf

    Thanks.
