Hmm, it seems the default configuration does not work very well for me.
I have at least to select the IXDP425 (Richfield) System Type to
get a bootable system at all. (Shouldn't be?)

In fact thats another issue, because even the kernel from 
http://bsp.gateworks.com/0.7.1/tftpboot/
seems not to work on the board (the 0.6.1 version does).

Maybe i'm missing something, but it seems to me that configuring the
kernel for the Richfield board somehow overrides the Avila settings so
there is no access to the CF card via the SATA driver.

Regards,
Daniel
