[ltp] PCMCIA data card not working after first insert

Sun, 1 May 2005 11:03:29 -0600 (MDT)

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with my T42 running Mandrake 10.2 which has
actually has existed for a few releases of MDK.

I seem to be able to use my PCMCIA data cards only once in each
slot.  If I put it in a slot a second time, it seems to insert
correct according to the syslog but when i try to mount it I get:

   mount: special device /dev/hde1 does not exist

I tried using the automatically created /mnt/removable and mounting
it manually to no avail (BTW, how do you change that mount point?  I
tried editing /etc/pcmcia/ide.opts but that didn't work.)

I also tried stopping cardmgr and completely removing pcmcia,
pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, and rsrc_nonstatic modules and reloading
all but that didn't help either.  I did, however, notice that the
ide-cs module was still loaded after I cardctl eject'ed the card.
It seems like something is left behind that's holding the pcmcia
slots after I eject the card.  So far, only a reboot seems to
fix it.  It looks like it's related to the /dev/hde* devices.

Below is the syslog block when it works and following is a syslog
block when it doesn't.  Please let me know if anyone can recommend
anything else to examine.

Thank you very much!

The first insert after a reboot:

Here's the mount attempt which works:
May  1 10:57:10 ferret kernel:  /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1

Here's the cardctl eject:

May  1 10:58:52 ferret fstab-sync[7451]: removed mount point /mnt/removable for /dev/hde1

Not sure why ide-cs is still in use though.

Here's the insert which doesn't work:
