Hi,

I am trying to use a 8MB Canon compact flash card with a pcmcia adaptor 
on my Dell 8200 Inspiron notebook. I have RHEL 3.0. When I insert the 
card I hear two beeps, first high second low and following lines appear 
on my /var/log/messages file.

Jun  2 09:04:46 korayk cardmgr[2403]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
Jun  2 09:04:46 korayk cardmgr[2403]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
Jun  2 09:04:46 korayk cardmgr[2403]: + modprobe: Can't locate module ide-cs
Jun  2 09:04:46 korayk cardmgr[2403]: modprobe exited with status 255
Jun  2 09:04:46 korayk cardmgr[2403]: module 
/lib/modules/2.4.21-15.EL/pcmcia/ide-cs.o not available
Jun  2 09:04:47 korayk cardmgr[2403]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: 
Resource temporarily unavailable

The output of "lsmod" does not show ide-cs and there is a ide-cs.c file on

/usr/src/linux-2.4.21-15.EL/drivers/ide/legacy/ide-cs.c

As far as I know, yenta_socket controls my pcmcia sockets sice 
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia has

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

However, in /etc/pcmcia/config following lines exist

#
# ATA/IDE fixed disk devices
#
card "ATA/IDE Fixed Disk"
  function fixed_disk
  bind "ide-cs"
                                                                                

I do not know if this file is used, because I have read some mails that 
it is not used, however I think it clearly shows a relation to ide-cs 
for ATA/IDE disk device.

Any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
