Garst Reese posted a patch against 2.4.0-test1-ac7 that he thought might
help with my problem with not being able to recognize my Adaptec
APA-1480 SlimSCSI cardbus host bus adapter.
I first checked that ac7 worked OK on my machine as distributed, and
that the APA-1480 was still not recognized, and it worked OK and it was
indeed still not recognized.
Then I applied Garst's patch and tried again. I hadn't installed the
full PCMCIA package, but the card was recognized but not initialized
because some module was missing (cb_enabler I think).
I then installed the pcmcia-cs-3.1.15 card services and the card gets
initialided OK:

but then when I try to mount a Zip disk I get:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mount: /dev/sda1 has wrong major or minor number
That might be an entirely unrelated problem; however I was able to mount
the drive through the card on 2.2.13 (this is a Slackware 7
distribution)
ls -l /dev/sda1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 29 1995 /dev/sda1
I'll ask about that separately on the list.
For reference, here is Garth's patch. It was originally posted by him
earlier on this thread.
