Re: PCMCIA Problems win IBM A20p



did you try the 2.4.9 in-kernel pcmcia stuff? It's been working like a charm for me (well, I think I had to change all the ide_cs to ide-cs -- or vice versa -- to properly mount my CF card in a pcmcia adapter.

just that you need the tools in pcmcia-cs.

I also couldn't get the pcmcia-cs package to compile with make-kpkg modules -- but it's all working perfectly as described above.

ThinkPad 600e, 2.4.9 kernel, woody.
