problem solved.
The cf card was not formatted properly.
Format the card by HOST PC using a card reader.
'df -h ' to check which dev node this card is mounted. Mine is on /dev/sdb
fdisk /dev/sdb
follow the command helper.
five things needs to be done.
1 create two partitions, one is fat16 and the other one is ext2.
2 change to partition type by issuing command 't' and an HEX value (fat16 is 6, linux ext2 is 83)
3 assign the fat16 partition as the primary boot partition
4 write and sync your card by issuing 'w' command
5 quit
then copy the files to compact flash as described in the user manual
