I guess Canon IXUS 400 is overstupid or something.

USB Mass Storage device found at 2
Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
SCSI device sdb: 501760 512-byte hdwr sectors (257 MB)
sdb: Write Protect is off
sdb: Mode Sense: 00 00 00 00
sdb: assuming drive cache: write through
 sdb: sdb1
Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 1
Attached scsi removable disk sdc at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 2
Attached scsi removable disk sdd at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 3
FAT: invalid first entry of FAT (0xfff8 != 0xfff8)
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev sdb1.

this is 256MB CF plugged into Lacie USB CF-reader,
Vendor=0aec ProdID=3260 Rev= 1.00.

# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Disk /dev/sdb: 256 MB, 256901120 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 980 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1         979      250608    6  FAT16

CF works in Canon and Windows XP. *shrug*
I believe it's formatted in Canon.

Feel free to ask more info.

# dosfsck -V fatflash.bin 
dosfsck 2.8, 28 Feb 2001, FAT32, LFN
Starting check/repair pass.
Starting verification pass.
fatflash.bin: 34 files, 5481/62586 clusters

that was dosfstools-2.8-15 from Fedora.
So I can't even fsck the stupid thing so it could  be mounted.
