Is your CF card formatted as FAT16 (06) - one primary partition only?

Got the CF card today and tried it - but the iPAQ wouldn't recognise long 
filenames.

Reformatted it with most types of combinations of FAT16 and FAT32 (06, 0B, 0C 
& 0E) - FAT32 isn't recognised, and with FAT16 the files can't be found 
(maybe shortened to 8.3?).

The thing went totally dead for a while, then I got it into maintenance mode 
and have put WinCE back on for now, to format the CF card again. 

Weird thing is - the gpe-image-ipaq-pxa -etc-etc-.jffs2 filename is shown OK 
with WinCE, but the zImage-2.6.13-hh1-etc shows up only as zImage-2.6.13. 
Mounted as vfat on Linux, all the filenames are fine.  

Next step to try shortening the filenames and editing reflash.ctl...
