I want to update my CF-Microdrive for my router with CentOS (currently there is Slacky on it). I have attached the microdrive to my notebook using a pcmcia CF adapter. Within my CentOS installation the drive is detected correctly as ide_cf and all partitions are shown. But as the installer does not ship the necessary modules for a pcmcia ide installation i am searching for a way to either add these, or to prepare the device from my box within a chroot environment.

Maybe you could rebuild an install DVD with the necessary modules...? Or the easiest, if it works, would be to use one of these USB "keys" where you insert your CF drive.

Any ideas?

I haven't gotten around to fixing up some of the remarks made by others, but you should get the general idea.
