libata pcmcia failure

[Robert de Rooy <robert.de.rooy@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I tried Fedora 7t4 LiveCD on my ThinkPad T41 with a PCMCIA "Dazzle 4in1 Card Adapter", this adapter supports Sony Memorystick, MMC, SD and SmartMedia cards. The card had a 128MB Lexmark MemoryStick installed.

Under windows the adapter works fine, but under Linux I got a bunch of errors in syslog as shown below...
I do not know if it works with the Linux legacy PCMCIA IDE driver.

If I need to retrieve additional information or test something, please let me know.
