nice info on the CF cards guys.

I wonder why the generics tend to work but the name brand ones don't?

I'm currently trying to get Knoppix working on my laptop so I can use the cardctl command to display the Card Information Structure (CIS) - basically the firmware which details the specs of the card and I think also if it supports true IDE mode or not. that might be the issue. But bloody Knoppix keeps freezing after detecting the laptop video card. oh well, more googling..
