I have a PCMCIA smart media reader made by Centon electronics. The card no longer functions since I upgraded from FC1-T3 to FC1 via apt yesterday. When I put in a smart media card into the reader, I get the following in /var/log/messages
Nov 6 21:14:49 keelie cardmgr[4684]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk Nov 6 21:14:50 keelie cardmgr[4684]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs' Nov 6 21:15:14 keelie kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x100 & 0x10e, irq 3 failed Nov 6 21:15:15 keelie cardmgr[4684]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
I am normally able to mount the card as /dev/hde1.
I have these three kernels and get the same results: 2.4.20-20.9 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl 2.6.0-0.test9.1.67
When I first insert the smart media card into the reader the mouse locks up for a few seconds. If I take the card out and re-insert it, my laptop locks up completely, no mouse, no keyboard. I thought it might have been a kernel issue, however it is happening with the 2.4.20-20.9 kernel from RH9 and the 2.6-test kernels as well. I have used the reader on my laptop with Red Hat 9 and FC test-{1,2,3} for a while without issues.
I thought the reader may have gone bad, however I just popped it into my other laptop running RH9 with kernel 2.4.19-9 and it worked without problems.
Any clues where to start looking?
