Hmmm, I don't recall which module was loading :(

I've tried loading ide-cs as a module, but that seemingly has had no 
effect.

Actually, I just figured that if ide-cs is loaded, then the card is not 
inserted into the /sys/bus/pcmcia/device/ tree. Further, dmesg reports 
only one line when the card is inserted:
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0

instead of two lines when ide-cs is not loaded:
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 0
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia0.0

Hopefully that means something.

Sounds good. Can you explain more about the card CIS? What do I need to 
look at/for?

I had previously been using modules but I've now compiled all pcmcia 
drivers into the kernel. I'm using the yenta driver, which is the driver 
I was using when it last worked.

Here's what dmesg says about anything pcmcia|yenta related:

Thanks for your help
