PCMCIA woes

[Denis Leroy]

I'm running an updated FC2 on my IBM T30, and insterting a compact
flash PCMCIA card (from PQI), i get the following error in
/var/log/messages :

I couldn't find any reference to those mysterious sram_mtd amd
memory_cs modules anywhere in the kernel source code, so it looks like
a packaging problem here. I guess either the pcmcia-cs configuration
files are outdated, or it's missing some extra kernel modules and the
dependency is missing from the pcmcia-cs RPM (??).

I'm using pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-1.5 and kernel-2.6.8-1.521.
