Works like a charm here. I use quite outdated u-boot though. Which one
you use? I could try it (if it is community u-boot).

I'm using the head, which I grabbed last week: U-Boot
1.3.4-rc1-00012-g1953d12
TIA for checking your itx with this version.

U-Boot 1.3.4-rc1-00012-g1953d12 (Aug  1 2008 - 21:45:42) MPC83XX

The CF still works.

As for the backtrace you posted recently, I remeber I've noticed the
similar issue long ago on some mITX board. I believe the board had
hw issues indeed (or CF card I tested with). The problem could be in
the IRQ line itself (for some reason it always low), or it could be
IDE cmd/data lines at fault, so that IDE can't receive status read
command and does not deassert the interrupt line... quite hard to
tell.

Thanks for confirming.. I was losing my mind :-)
This looks like it is indeed a HW problem with the ITX. Are you aware of
any threads/documents describing the issue? We based our custom HW off
the ITX schematic with regards to the CF, and I hope we didn't copy over
_that_ problem :-/

I don't think it was a hw design problem, more likely somebody
fried the CF slot on that board (either by hot-plugging the CF, or via
inserting CF 5V only flash.. either of this is forbidden for the
8349mITX boards).
