PCMCIA IDE drivers

[James Bond]

Hi. I have an SmartMedia -> PCMCIA adaptor that usually is recognized (as in Win98/95/MacOS) as an ordinary IDE drive (in the PCMCIA slot). I was wondering if there was anyway to have this drive mount under linux. My knowledge of PCMCIA is limited, and, the last time I tried this, it didn't work at all under linux. The card still works under the other OSes, so, the problem is in the OS.

Also, which hd would it be, hdb, hdc, or any ideas?

Did you add PCMCIA support to your kernel?

Thanks, I realized that something was screwy with the PCMCIA and the modules weren't loaded (they actually weren't even in the correct folder). So, fixed that, popped in the card and it worked. That was way too easy. I guess that's what I get for leaving a computer turned off for a couple of months.

thanks
