What version of EXT2 file system did you use?  The RedBoot EXT2
driver is rather old and can only handle versions with i-nodes
that are 128 bytes each (newer versions of EXT2 can use 256 byte
i-nodes).

Try formatting your CF card with the "-I 128" option.

n.b. the first command you tried is the correct syntax - no quotes
should be required.
