I have an old 260MB PCMCIA HDD in slot1 on my laptop.
Slack 10.2 (Full install), compiled 2.6.15 w/PCMCIA HDD support)
The question is:
How do I access it? I fairly sure it needs to be formatted, etc. But how do I see it to use cfdisk or whatever on it?
Or is it even working?
Here are the relevant areas of dmesg:
Code:
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:01:05.0 [107b:1450]
Yenta O2: res at 0x94/0xD4: 00/ea

And here is results of cardctl info:
Code:
bob@toaster:~$ cardctl info
PRODID_1="INTEGRAL PERIPHERALS"
PRODID_2="ATA CARD"
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0106,0000
FUNCID=4
So it seems the kernel is seeing it and loading a driver for it. But what now?
Tried mount /dev/hd(x), and get 'Not a valid block device'
