Don't apologize - I always prefer a long and detailed error report to
the short message "XXX doen't work for me."

Which vendor, which type?

You're pretty lost here; when  PPCBoot  cannot  recognize  the  card,
Linux  will not understand it, either (both use more or less the same
code for that purpose). Also, Linux relies on the  initialization  of
the PCMCIA interface performed by PPCBoot.

Yes, for some reason your card is not recognized. Either you dig into
the PPCBoot code to find out whats going wrong, or I can  offer  that
we  do  that  for  you  - but you'd have to donate one of your PCMCIA
cards ;-)

If the odds are a million to one against something occuring,  chances
are 50-50 it will.
