Thanks for everyone's help, it now works for me with this patch.

However, I'm not sure that this patch swang it over the previous one.
I changed various other features of my kernel at the same time;
including removing PCMCIA (don't ask - I didn't know it was enabled)
and adding APIC.  I don't think APIC affected it; I suspect removing
PCMCIA fixed it, because the logs show a PCMCIA error in the middle of
the SCSI-USB device negotiation thing.

The patch as it is doesn't link, and has other issues.  I hope to post
an update soon.

Meanwhile, I now have the following issue.  I have 2 Smartmedia cards;
one 8MB and one 32MB.  The 8MB works like a dream.  The 32MB won't
mount, and the kernel logs show:

Jan  8 23:07:22 monkey kernel: Device busy for revalidation (usage=1)
Jan  8 23:07:22 monkey kernel: FAT: bogus logical sector size 65535
Jan  8 23:07:22 monkey kernel: VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev 08:21.
Jan  8 23:07:22 monkey kernel: SCSI error: host 1 id 0 lun 1 return code = 8000002
Jan  8 23:07:22 monkey kernel: ^ISense class 7, sense error 0, extended sense 0

When I successfully mount the 8MB card, it only shows the "device busy
for revalidation" message (I'm hot-replacing the cards after
unmounting).  I don't know how the flash memory is organized; but I
imagine the card reader makes it appear as a FAT file system; I doubt
it is stored as a filesystem 8-)

So why the error about a bogus logical sector size?  Is this an issue
with:

1) The card (works in my Olympus 2000Z camera no probs)
2) The card reader
3) The Phison device driver
4) The usb/storage and usb subsystems
5) The SCSI subsystem
6) The FAT filesystem

I doubt 5) and 6); which of the others it is I have no idea.  b.t.w.
I'm mounting it as a VFAT file system; is it perhaps MS-DOS (sadly I
don't have this compiled into my kernel at present)?  How does
everyone else mount their smart card file systems?

Thanks.

Neil.
