| SUBJECT | Subject: [hangout] Mounting PCMCIA SmartMedia Adapter?
|
OK, after recompiling my kernel, thanks Kevin for pointing me in that
direction, to include the ide-cs module I am able to recognize the
pcmcia SmartMedia card adapter. Here is the /var/lib/pcmcia/stab:
Socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
0 ide ide-cs 0 hde 33 0
I think this is telling me that the card is on /dev/hde which I can't
seem to mount. I've tried msdos and iso9660 because it shows up as a PC
formated drive on MAC OS:
[root-at-localhost joev]# mount -t msdos /dev/hde /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde,
or too many mounted file systems
[root-at-localhost joev]# mount -t iso9660 /dev/hde /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hde,
or too many mounted file systems
According to the PCMCIA howto at LDP,
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.7 I need to add an ftl
partition to the card. So Itried that with no luck:
[root-at-localhost joev]# ftl_format -i /dev/mem0c0c
status check failed: No such file or directory
[root-at-localhost joev]# ftl_format -i /dev/hde0c0c
status check failed: No such file or directory
[root-at-localhost joev]# ftl_format -i /dev/hde
get info failed: Input/output error
format failed.
Where do I go next?
Joe
