IDE-CF should work just fine,
Yet it does not always.
but you have to disable DMA for IDE port where you have it connected (boot parameter: ide1=nodma - does not work with some kernels).
Not neccessary with SanDisk Extreme III in PC Engines straight adapter. DMA or not depends on both card and adapter.
I've been using straight IDE to CF adapter with no electronics on it, and never had any problems.
Right, that is my experience as well.
Use branded CF cards though, Transcend proved to be good on it, but A-data works with hick-ups.
My point was that with the same SanDisk card one adapter worked and another didn't.

Does anyone get an idea how to solve this problem?
Try booting from a normal disk.
I stand by this. It is a simple way to exclude all problems related to CF.
