    I have recently installed RedHat Linux v7.1, Kernel 2.4.2. on a Canon
    490CDT older notebook (Pentium 133, 32M ram). All works fine except
    the pcmcia cards. According to Windows 95 the PCMIA socket is a Cirrus
    Logic PCIC compatible, hardware version 254, I/O at FCFC-FCFF.

    Linux bootup messages and dmesg give:

    "Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22
    options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
    Intel PCIC probe: not found.
    ds: no socket drivers loaded!".

    cardctl ident says "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices", however lsmod
    shows "pcmcia_core" of 43456 bytes and probe tells me:

    "PCI Bridge probe: Cirrus D6729 found, 2 sockets.".

    I have checked my startup options in the PCMCIA startup script and
    they are PCMCIA "yes" and PCIC "i82365", no PCIC_OPTS.

    I tried setting PCIC_OPTS to "wakeup=1" to no avail.

    Have read through the PCMCIA HOWTO but am uncertain as to what to try
    next as I am a Linux novice. Any assistance/suggestions greatly
    apreciated. Thanks.
