I have a notebook that runs Solaris 10U4 fully patched and snv_78
(installed on a different slice).  Solaris 10U4 correctly mounts USB
connected hard drives and a CF card mounted in an ExpressCard
CF card adapter.  See the following partial output of prtconf -D:

        pci1014,565, instance #0 (driver name: uhci)
        pci1014,565, instance #1 (driver name: uhci)
        pci1014,565, instance #2 (driver name: uhci)
        pci1014,565, instance #3 (driver name: uhci)
        pci1014,566, instance #0 (driver name: ehci)
            storage, instance #0 (driver name: scsa2usb)
                disk, instance #0 (driver name: sd)
            storage, instance #1 (driver name: scsa2usb)
                disk, instance #1 (driver name: sd)
        pci8086,2448, instance #0 (driver name: pci_pci)
            pci1014,56c, instance #0 (driver name: pcic)
                pcs, instance #0 (driver name: pcs)
            pci8086,1010, instance #0 (driver name: iwi)

The mount (S10U4) command shows the following for the two devices:

/rmdisk/unnamed_rmdisk on /vol/dev/dsk/c0t0d0/unnamed_rmdisk:c 
read/write/setuid/devices/nohidden/nofoldcase/dev=1741002 on Mon Dec 31 
05:50:15 2007
/rmdisk/sd_512_u on /vol/dev/dsk/c3t0d0/sd_512_u:c 
read/write/setuid/devices/nohidden/nofoldcase/dev=1741003 on Mon Dec 31 
05:50:50 2007

With Nevada (snv_78) the USB hard disk mounts however the
CF card will not mount.  It does show up as an icon in the
gnome file manager (or whatever it is called) but if I double
click it complains that it can't be mounted.  With S10U4, the
CF card is mounted as /rmdisk/sd_512_u and df shows that
it is mostly full:

[t43p:/rmdisk/sd_512_u]# df -k .
Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
/vol/dev/dsk/c3t0d0/sd_512_u:c
                      499672  469896   29776    95%    /rmdisk/sd_512_u

A CDE file manager window opens on S10U4 when the card in the
adapter is plugged in.

Any suggestions on how to make this device work on Nevada (snv_78)?
The card is a Hagiwara sys-com ExpressCard Compact Flash/microdrive
adapter, HAD-EX5CF01.  The CF card is a SanDisk Ultra 512 MB.  Notebook
is an IBM/Lenovo T43p.

Thanks,

Stuart
