I have lots of 8 and 32MB CF cards and they all work fine.  I have a 
128MB CF card that doesn't work fine.  It's strange.  It works on one
of my laptops (I can mount, read, write, etc), but on my Jornada, where
another 32MB CF card works fine, it just hangs.  Also, on another x86
machine that has no trouble dealing with the 8 and 32MB cards, the 128MB 
card probes but any access to it ("disklabel wd1", etc) just wedges the
box solid.

I suspect it's because it's just some cheap crud card.
