This bug is valid for 9.1 final on my Dell Inspiron 2100 (aka Latitude LS) and a
SanDisk CF PC Card adapter installed.
I propose escalating the severity to 'critical' since I encountered this problem
while upgrading from 8.2 and was unable to complete booting the newly installed
system because the CF adapter was installed. I finally realized this by booting
in failsafe, examining the syslogs, and searching the mandrakesoft bug page -
but the bottom line is that there is no way to boot the machine normally with
the CF adapter plugged in.

When I insert a flash card in a pcmcia slot (with an adapter), the pc (Dell
latitude) becomes unresponsive. It seem some process is trapped in an error loop.
Standard error shows:
cardmgr[584]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
cardmgr[584]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
cardmgr[584]: executing: './ide start hde'
ps -ef shows:
/bin/sh /etc/dynamic/scripts/part.script del /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
/usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/drakupdate_fstab --auto --del
/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
/bin/sh /etc/dynamic/scripts/part.script del /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
The message log is:

The error message is repeated until I remove the card.
Inserted modules:
ide-cs 3620 1
ds 6824 2 [ide-cs]
yenta_socket 10240 2
pcmcia_core 44160 0 [ide-cs ds yenta_socket]
vfat 9580 1 (autoclean)
fat 31832 0 (autoclean) [vfat]
If I try to issue the command ll /dev/hd*, it hangs and I can't kill it.
I will try to find a regular memory card, but I would expect the same problem.
It might be relevant that I don't have desktop icons since I use Gnome without
Nautilus.
