Hello,

I'm running Gentoo on a Sony Vaio Laptop with a 2.4.18 kernel (stock +
acpi patches) and no devFS. To make sure it wasn't related, i did the
same test under Gentoo's 2.4.19-r1 and devFS support.

I emerged the pcmcia-cs ebuild and it cannot see the flash card as a
disk drive. On the same laptop using Debian, as soon as i insert the
card, i can fdisk /dev/hde and it works, i can write data in and out.

Under Gentoo however, i cannot. It keeps saying : Unable to open
/dev/hde. Block devices are here though ...

Under /etc/modules.autoload, i have this : 
pcmcia_core
yenta_socket
ds
ide-cs

dmesg seems to return proper messages : 

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 02:05.0
PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 02:05.1
Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000810

Now, starting the pcmcia service returns : 
 * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[5224]: watching 2 sockets
cardmgr[5224]: Card Services release does not
match                                    

And furthermore, cannot stop it anymore resulting in [!!].

The pcmcia-cs seems to be the issue, the version is :
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33-r3

What could i do to fix this ?
Steph
