Hi, I am using a pcmcia compact flash adapter to get pictures off my digital camera. This has worked fine in Mandrake 8.1, but in the 8.2 beta's and the RC it doesn't work right. What happens is that I have to insert the card twice before I get the two 'beeps' that confirms the card has been detected. The first time I insert it nothing happens (not even in the logs). After the card is detected, on second insertion, I am able to mount the file system (vfat) and get the pictures off the card. The real problem comes when I want to remove the card. Even after having umounted the file system the laptop freezes up completely when I eject the card (I have to pull the plug). To avoid the freeze I have to stop the pcmicia service with before ejecting the card. I didn't have to do this in 8.1, and the card was also detected the first time I inserted it.
What may be wrong here? TIA -- Christian Dysthe http://www.dysthe.net ICQ: 3945810 Registered Linux User #228949
