[Bug 51648] PCMCIA/Compact Flash does not recognize/automount CF flash card

[TimJ]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

I have a Thinkpad X30 with a PCMCIA slot and a Compact Flash cardbus
slot. Both of these devices as well as the FireWire port are controlled
by the Ricoh R5C552 (see here for more:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Ricoh_R5C522) which apparently emulates
the RL5c476 (?). lspci says this:

0000:01:00.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8)
0000:01:00.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev a8)
0000:01:00.2 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Ricoh Co Ltd R5C552 IEEE 1394 Controller

Firewire works - a firewire hard drive plugged in is automatically
mounted. Neither the PCMCIA nor CF slot automount a CF card (ext2) when
inserted. The output in /var/log/messages is:

(Insert CF card/adapter into PCMCIA slot) 
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0 
cs: memory probe 0xf0000000-0xf80fffff: excluding 0xf0000000-0xf87fffff 
(Remove) 
pccard: card ejected from slot 0 
(Insert CF card into CF slot) 
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 1 
(Remove) 
pccard: card ejected from slot 1

When inserted, there are no new devices that show up under /dev (e.g.
/dev/hdb1) and the device is not mounted.

lsmod | grep pcmcia shows: 
pcmcia 40508 0 
pcmcia_core 42640 3 
pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic

Any idea what is missing for the PCMCIA subsystem to automatically
handle CF cards and PCMCIA devices?  More information on my thread here:
