Good call - I moved uart0 to sit before uart1 in my dts file and all works as before now. uart1 came first by default.

Still no Compact Flash. It appears SCSI drivers are compiling and loading, but there is no detect happening.

I copied the 2C35 design from the wiki for the Compact Flash. It works with 2.6.35 under the nios2mmu code branch. I have a an older Nios II 2C35 demo board, not the DE2.

I have tried 2.6.38 as well, no work there either. It appears the driver is the same revision. I am going to try 2.6.37, but no DTS with this revision.

If anyone has gotten this to work with the unstable-nios2mmu branch 3.0.x code, please post. I would like to stay on the latest code.
