RPXClassic Help

[Travis B. Sawyer]

Greetings:

I got my hands on a couple of RPXClassic (CLLF) boards gratis
and am planning on putting them to some use with my model
railroad (overkill, but its fun!).

I have them running Das U-Boot git as of ~ 16August2005.

I'm attempting to use a kernel.org 2.4.30 kernel. (With
i2c-2.9.0 patches)

After pushing the bd_t struct into rpxclassic.h, the board
boots linux well, mounts the nfs root properly, things are
good.

I would like to get a pcmcia flash disk working.  It is id'ed
by Das U-Boot:

PCMCIA:SunDisk SDP 5/3 0.6
             Fixed Disk Card
             IDE interface
             [silicon] [unique] [single] [sleep] [standby] [idle] [low power]
Bus 0: OK
   Device 0: Model: SanDisk SDP3B-64 Firm: vdd 1.00 Ser#: g3vspq15924
             Type: Removable Hard Disk
             Capacity: 61.2 MB = 0.0 GB (125440 x 512)

After enabling pcmcia, 8xx pccard, ide, et al (and some debug printk's)
I get the following output from the kernel:

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00beta4-2.4
ide: Assuming 50MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx

Nothing shows up in /proc/ide other than 'drivers'
bash-2.05b# cat drivers
ide-disk version 1.17
ide-default version 0.9.newide


I tried googling to no avail.  Any ideas?

TIA,

Travis

I use the PCMCIA card services at sourceforge instead of the built in
support.  They work very well including ATA/IDE.
