I have a Sony Vaio GRT170, and have noticed problems with the PCMCIA as well. As with yours, the kernel modules load just fine, I insert a Compact Flash in a card adapter, which has always worked in the past, and it just doesn't show up. I try to mount the card, and it says "no valid file system".
/dev/hde1 /mnt/flash vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 Could 2.6.x be having PCMCIA problems? This CF card and mount point worked fine earlier for me, even with 2.6.5.
