    Hi,
    I recently purchased a 256Mb Kodak CF card (upgrade from my 20Mb one :)
    but I can't use it in the adapter (CF -> PCMCIA) in FreeBSD. It works
    in XP on another laptop, I haven't tried rebooting to test it on this
    one yet.

    A guy at work has a Hitachi 256Mb card which works fine in FreeBSD.

    Here is what appears in /var/log/messages for the Kodak 256Mb device ->
    Nov 26 12:11:00 chowder /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
    Nov 26 12:11:05 chowder pccardd[80]: Card "KODAK Picture Card"("KODAK") [] [] matched "KODAK Picture Card" ("KODAK") [(null)] [(null)]
    Nov 26 12:11:10 chowder pccardd[80]: driver allocation failed for KODAK Picture Card(KODAK): Device not configured
    Nov 26 14:43:30 chowder /kernel: pccard: card removed, slot 1
    Nov 26 14:43:30 chowder pccardd[80]: ata4: KODAK Picture Card (KODAK) removed.

    For the 20Mb "Kodak" ->
    Nov 26 12:25:13 chowder /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
    Nov 26 12:25:18 chowder pccardd[80]: Card "SunDisk"("SDP") [5/3 0.6] [[none]] matched "SunDisk" ("/.*/") [(null)] [(null)]
    Nov 26 12:25:24 chowder /kernel: ata4 at port 0x240-0x247,0x24e irq 10 slot 1 on pccard1
    Nov 26 12:25:24 chowder /kernel: ad1: 19MB <SunDisk SDCFB-20> [612/2/32] at ata4-master BIOSPIO
    Nov 26 12:25:24 chowder pccardd[80]: ata4: SunDisk (/.*/) inserted.

    For the 256Mb Hitachi ->
    Nov 26 13:37:50 chowder /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 1
    Nov 26 13:37:55 chowder pccardd[80]: Card "HITACHI"("FLASH") [5.0] [[none]] matched "HITACHI" ("/.*FLASH.*/") [(null)] [(null)]
    Nov 26 13:38:01 chowder /kernel: ata4 at port 0x240-0x247,0x24e irq 10 slot 1 on pccard1
    Nov 26 13:38:01 chowder /kernel: ad1: 244MB <Hitachi XXM2.3.0> [695/15/48] at ata4-master BIOSPIO
    Nov 26 13:38:01 chowder pccardd[80]: ata4: HITACHI (/.*FLASH.*/) inserted.

    I've attached the output of 'pccard dumpcis' for each card, and my
    pccard.conf file.
