Mounting a CF card

Thanks for the reference, Joe. I read through everything and followed
the instructions. I still have the same problem, though, as shown by the
following log entries which are made when the CF card is inserted.

Apr 24 19:44:05 localhost cardmgr[1408]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
Apr 24 19:44:05 localhost cardmgr[1408]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
Apr 24 19:44:05 localhost cardmgr[1408]: + modprobe: Can't locate module
ide-cs
Apr 24 19:44:06 localhost cardmgr[1408]: modprobe exited with status 255
Apr 24 19:44:06 localhost cardmgr[1408]:
module/lib/modules/2.4.22-2f/pcmcia/ide-cs.o not available

The cardmgr made the right beeps, one high pitched as it recognized the
card, one low pitched as it failed to load the driver. I have to get the
ide-cs module for PPC kernel 2.4.22 from somewhere.
