"I have a new DM8000 (production date 22-10-2010) and I have bought a Transcend CompactFlash 64GB 400x card only to find that it is not working."

It turns out it is dependent on the image and works OK in the dream image (but not in the derived one I used)

I have a new DM8000 (production date 22-10-2010) and I have bought a Transcend CompactFlash 64GB 400x card only to find that it is not working.

When the card is inserted, the system log shows that the USB device appears, and /dev/sda is created, but there the process stops.

usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using brcm-ehci and address 4
usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
scsi3 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices
usb-storage: device found at 4
usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning
Vendor: Generic- Model: SD/MMC Rev: 1.00
Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 00
sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sda
sd 3:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0
usb-storage: device scan complete

When trying to run "fdisk /dev/sda" the error message is:

Unable to open /dev/sda

When typing "od -x /dev/sda" the message is:
od: /dev/sda: No medium found

od: /dev/sda: Bad file descriptor

What is going on here?
Is this a hardware problem with the new box?
Or is there some driver issue?
Is there any hope that this is going to work, or do I have to write-off my 140 euro investment in a CF card?

The card works OK in my Linux system. I have even removed all partitions, created a new partition and formatted it as ext3,
but this makes no difference as the DM8000 apparently is not able to read from the device at all.
