Eventually I just bailed and used a SATA to IDE adapter to use an SSD instead (which worked but installing Windows 98 was very slow; though that might have been the CD drive's fault, I can't tell).
I bet you could get it working if you toggled LBA on/off during Flash setup as I documented a few posts back (making adjustments for your particular BIOS configuration parameters). I've never had an issue getting CF working in any of my motherboards. The SE440BX-2 is the only board, however, I had to go through the LBA nonsense to get it working reliably.
