I have a 64MB flash memory card with a pcmcia adapter.
As far as I know those things use ide/ata interface.
It worked this way on my old Laptop with a potato frozen
release. I could mount it with something like
"mount -t msdos /dev/hde1 /flash".
Something changed in the meanwhile with potato r3
instead ide_cs some memory_cs and sram modules
get loaded. Is this correct and if so how do I access the card now?
A mount on /dev/mem0 fails of course (no valid block device).
My overall feeling is that the card is not recocnized correctly.
Does anybody have or had a similar problem ?
Remarks:
It does not seem to be a hardware Problem: I copied the old Potato frozen System
on the new Laptop and it does work just like it did on the old Laptop ( well
it is hdc now and used to be hde)
I will get pretty much the same thing when using kernel 2.2.19 and the original
potato pcmcia-cs package instead of Adrian Bunks kernel 2.4 stuff.
I also tried to use the provided 2.4 kernel moduls, but have even more troubles
with those.
I also did rebuild and install the pcmcia-deb package with modules for any kernel
and any kernel configuration I tried.
I can't remember to have changed anything to the pcmcia system when I installed the
old sysmtem, but it is a long time ago.
Here is some more out put from syslog
