Re: Fujitsu Siemens E7010, Kernel 2.6.x and PCMCIA
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.
