Talk:CF Card slot

/dev/hde is the devicename of the CompactFlash Memory Card inserted into the Thinkpad X31's CF Slot

The device seems to be handled by udev, but pmount which is used to mount udev devices complains, because it thinks, that: Error: device /dev/hde1 is not removable see the full output below.

Unless this can be corrected (any kernel hackers around?) use /etc/fstab (will give more details on this soon --epic)
