[ltp] Re: Can't mount CF card in PC Slot - need device name?

[H Hound]

dmesg does not show any CF device - just the devices I mentioned previously. 
  But cardctl does report the CF card info correctly if and only if the card 
is inserted.  So I surmise that at least part of the software is working, 
and I have no hardware problems.  What else might I check?
