PCMCIA/Compact Flash does not recognize/automount CF flash card

[Tim]

Binary package hint: hal

I have a Thinkpad X30 with a PCMCIA slot and a Compact Flash cardbus slot. Both of these devices as well as the FireWire port are controlled by the Ricoh R5C552 (see here for more: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ricoh_R5C522) which apparently emulates the RL5c476 (?). lspci says this:

0000:01:00.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8)
0000:01:00.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8)
0000:01:00.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller

Firewire works - a firewire hard drive plugged in is automatically mounted. Neither the PCMCIA nor CF slot automount a CF card (ext2) when inserted. The output in /var/log/messages is:

(Insert CF card/adapter into PCMCIA slot)
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
cs: memory probe 0xf0000000-0xf80fffff: excluding 0xf0000000-0xf87fffff
(Remove)
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
(Insert CF card into CF slot)
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1
(Remove)
pccard: card ejected from slot 1

When inserted, there are no new devices that show up under /dev (e.g. /dev/hdb1) and the device is not mounted.

lsmod | grep pcmcia shows:
pcmcia 40508 0
pcmcia_core 42640 3
pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

Any idea what is missing for the PCMCIA subsystem to automatically handle CF cards and PCMCIA devices? More information on my thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202161

It's listed on the thread in Ubuntu Forums but not here: I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 (the Kubuntu version).

Same problem with San Disk Extreme III CF with Verbatim CF/PCMCIA adapter.

/var/log/messages - CF insert + eject

Rebooted & now can mount CF card (doesn't automount however).

On other other hand, noticed this in /var/log/messages:

Jul 3 23:39:14 localhost kernel: [17179716.916000] pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage.
Jul 3 23:39:14 localhost kernel: [17179716.916000] pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed from the kernel; please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this linux-source-2.6.15 kernel bug to the new "linux" package. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Also, if you would be interested in testing the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release, it is available at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Please let us know your results. Thanks!
