Description Jochen Weiss 2003-04-03 18:40:34 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314

Description of problem:
Upon inserting the compact flash card, the card is briefly recognized but
immediately thereafter about 12-14 interrupt errors appear as the PC card is
attempted to be accessed. The system does not crash, simply the card can not be
mounted. The card worked perfectly fine under RedHat 8.0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert Compact Flash PC Card (Viking Components CFA 1757)
2. Wait for error messages to appear
3. Try and mount card

    

Actual Results:  Mount fails with errors.

Expected Results:  Card should have been mounted (mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1
/mnt/flash) and should be accessible

I have also noticed similar problem with SimpleTech 256M card
(that worked fine under RH8.0, but is not accessible under RH9).

It should be noted that smaller cards (SanDisk 32M & 128M) seem to work but
inserting them also causes errors (cards seem to work though):

I am getting the exact same problem using a SimpleTech 1GB CF card in
an IBM PcCard adapter.  However, using a 256MB card with the same
adapter works flawlessly.
