CompactFlash based iPod mini

I recently performed this mod on my iPod mini:
http://geektechnique.org/projectlab/753/how-to-turn-your-ipod-mini-into-a-flash-based-ipod
I tried putting rockbox on it and it boots fine, but since it now uses a solid state flash card, accessing files has become broken. My guess is that rockbox is trying to send signals to a hard drive, but no hard drive is listening so it gets flummoxed and hangs. Is there any way to make this compatible?

bluebrother:
does it work with the Apple OS? As far as I know the interfaces of the CF card and the Microdrive are completely identical, so this might be related to the addition on the website you linked:

It works with the apple OS. I lucked out with a card I got on ebay.

Llorean:
What format is the filesystem? Specifically, many flash cards end up FAT16 instead of FAT32.

linuxstb:
There's a page in the Rockbox wiki about exactly this - putting a CF card in an ipod mini.  But I forget the name of it...
