Hi: I am working on an ARM Platform which provides a Compact Flash Interface to read/write CF Storage cards. I implemented the CF Host Controller and I am using the existing pata_pcmcia client driver to read/write to a Compact Flash Storage Card. However when I insert the Card I cannot see any ata block device which I can use to mount the card. Below are the messages when I insert the card (I enabled debug messages and also added my own).

Do I need anything more to access the CF Storage card or I am missing any of the steps in the process? Please clarify.
