pcmcia microdrive support on 2.4.21-rev5 for arctic2

[John F Davis]

Hello David,

You indeed are correct again.  I made the change to the pcmcia config file
and it now associates the ide-cs.o with the microdrive.  However, I still
have problems.  It outputs the following message:
ide-cs: Get NextTuple: No more items
ide-cs: Get NextTuple: No more items

Also:
"fdisk /dev/hda"  Says "unable to open /dev/hda"

I also don't see ide in the /proc/devices file.  This sounds like a
problem.

Thanks again.

JD

In recent kernels the name of the module has changed to ide-cs.o
