Detecting CF card

I bought a CF card to fit in my epia on-board pcmcia/cf-reader.
its a 'vivanco' 1Gb compact flash card, which appears to be a german 
brand.  Stock Kernel 2.6.12 on debian testing.

I can't get it to work (tried for the whole day now); see the output of 
how far I got;  using usb-storage/sd_mod I just get:
mount: /dev/sda1 is not a valid block device

Question
a) is the manfid 0x90,00  a legal one?  Or should I return the card and 
try a different brand?
b) my debian package 'pcmcia-cs' has a config file that redirects all 
memory cards to 'memory_cs' which I was under the impression was 
obsolete in 2.6.  Am I wrong?  Is the config file outdated?  Where can I 
get a new config file?

Thanks.
