Can not get PATA to work for Compact Flash with 2.6.28 kernel

I use a San Disk compact flash (CF) card on a board with MPC8248
processor. The CF is connected to data and address bus of the processor
and operates in TRUE IDE mode. The registers are memory mapped. I can
read the file system on the CF in u-boot (1.3.4). U-boot can identify
the CF and mount file system correctly.

The hardware is known good hardware.

I use 2.6.28 kernel and configured support for PATA for the CF.

Here is the setup in DTS file:

localbus at f0010100 {
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <1>;
compatible = "fsl,mpc8248-localbus",
"fsl,pq2-localbus",
"simple-bus";
reg = <0xf0010100 0x40>;
ranges = <0x3 0x0 0x30000000 0x10000
0x4 0x0 0x40000000 0x10000>;

pata at 3,0 {
compatible = "fsl,tr5000v2-pata", "ata-generic";
reg = <0x3 0x0 0x10 0x4 0x0 0x10>;
reg-shift = <1>;
pio-mode = <3>;
// interrupts = <23 0x8>;
// interrupt-parent = <&PIC>;
};
};


Here are some of the related CONFIG items:
#

The San Disk Compact Flash is not discovered.

I appreciate any insights or suggestions.
