When you apply the patch from Ryuichi Oikawa then the PCI probing should give the information further to the cb_enabler I think. I had the same behaviour when NOT applying this patch. Then I got also this messages: cardmgr[284]: unsupported card in socket 0 kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 1): vendor 0xffff, device 0xffff kernel: cs: no valid ROM images found! When you look into config from /etc/pcmcia you'll see the device: device "apa1480_cb" class "scsi" module "cb_enabler", "apa1480_cb" Here the driver is integrated after the cb_enabler which is responsible for correct notifying the CardBus Card. I don't have experiences with scsi, but as soon as the PCI probing works, the cardmgr should be able to tell you at least what card you inserted. Andreas ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
