Can't find Hard Drive

Hello all,
Here is my problem. I have mainboard Asus P3b-F with 500mhz Intel proc. Because computer is planed for routing I use adapter IDE_to_Compact Flash, and CF 256MB card. I must mention that CF is working on every other comp (even on P1). On this computer in BIOS it physically sees Card (when I switch from auto to Manualy configure). Also other test programs from BootCD does see CF card as a regular 256 disk. Every time I start computer if BIOS is switched to Auto find ( no matter if it is on Ide1 or Ide2) comp cant find CF card ( Detecting Primary Maset - None .. etc). If it is switched to manualy it cant boot system from it. Other "regular" Hard disks are working on this comp, and as I said this CF is working on other comps. Does somebody know how to solve this problem.

ok, i updated my bios to the newest version and now bios can find properly my compact flash card in IDE. Now the problem is computer freezing when starting OS from CF.
