1) Change all occurances of "ide_cs" to "ide-cs" in /etc/pcmcia/config.
2) In /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia change the line that reads "PCIC=i82365" to
"PCIC=yenta_socket".
3) Run "depmod -a" just to be sure.
4) Make sure no pcmcia modules are running. (lsmod will give you a list.)
The modules you are looking for are pcmcia_core, i82365, yenta_socket, and
ds.
5) Run /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart.
6) Should run after that, unless something else is not right. Look at
/var/log/messages for details.
