pcmcia silently dead

Does anyone else have general problems with pcmcia? Particularly after the changes introduced in kernel 2.6.13?

I have a 6-in-1 card reader but nothing happens when I insert a card. I get absolutey no messages logged anywhere whatsoever... I've been going through various documents, but none have helped.

However, the yenta module and other pcmcia stuff are loaded automatically by hwdetect:

[root@nightfrost ~]# dmesg | grep -i pcmc
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0x3000 - 0x3fff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0xd0200000 - 0xd02fffff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x30000000 - 0x33ffffff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0x3000 - 0x3fff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0xd0200000 - 0xd02fffff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x30000000 - 0x33ffffff

Any ideas?

Re: pcmcia silently dead

i had problems switched to 2.6.14 in testing
no prob read up on the whole initrd before trying this kernel though
you may have to recover you machine if things dont work right
