Ah... super strange.  Can you please try to swap memory sticks around
and see whether anything changes to rule out bad memory?  Another
possibility is DMA corrupting the memory and printk makes the timing
different and dodges the bullet.  Does putting msleep(100) in the
pata_pcmcia init_one make any difference?

Thanks.
