Hi!

I am running a 2.6.15 kernel on my IBM ThinkPad T30. I have a compact
flash adapter for my microdrive (Magicstor 2.2GB) and I try to get it
work. I seems to be possible under Linux
(http://linux.highsphere.net/howtos/magicstor2GB.php) but when I
insert the PCMCIA adapter together with the microdrive, then I just
get the following kernel messages:

Jan 14 18:36:26 localhost kernel: pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
Jan 14 18:36:26 localhost kernel: cs: memory probe
0xf0000000-0xf80fffff: excluding 0xf0000000-0xf87fffff
Jan 14 18:36:26 localhost kernel: cs: unable to map card memory!

I have enabled the PCMCIA IDE support (CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS) option
for my kernel.

Any ideas what is wrong and how to get the card/microdrive working?

Thanks in advance for any help!
