do i need to first detect it on my PPCBOOT , or can I make it DETECT directly from LINUX >> it depends on what u want. If u want only IDE support, no hotplug, u have to setup the PCMCIA registers in ppcboot. The driver/pcmcia/ide-m8xx.c reads out the PCMCIA register and remaps the io windows for IDE access. This is the simple way and it works with www.denx.de ELDK. for hotplug, the register setup (for linux) is in driver/pcmcia/m8xx_pcmcia.c. U can set up the PCMCIA registers for ppcboot, but it's not necesary. Then u need the pcmcia-cs package. This is the tricky way and, depends on ur kernel, is not supported on all kernel versions!
