RE: [iPAQ] CompactFlash and PCMCIA

You probably need to update the bootldr. There was a bug for awhile and
bootldr was only reporting 32MB of DRAM to Linux.

The latest bootldr is 2.14.15
(ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/compaq/ipaq/stable/bootldr-0000-2.14.15-b
igkernel-mono, for both color and mono units)
