Yenta driver not monitoring socket

I have an AOpen Fortress 9100 and have had a lot of trouble getting a PCI to 
PCMCIA adapter to work in it. I have tried several different kernels 
(2.6.18, 2.6.20 and now trying 2.4.20) with no results. I am using RedHat 
9.0 with kernel pcmcia on the machine now but have tried Fedora Core 4 and 
6. I have tried several of the kernel options such as pci=routeirq, 
pci=biosirq etc...  During boot, the kernel recognizes the controller as 
shown

Yenta IRQ list 0000, PCI irq21
Socket status: ffffffff
cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: excluding 0xc00-0xc07 0xc10-0xc17 
0xc48-0xc57 0xc68-0xc6f 0xcd0-0xcd7
cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x1f0-0x1f7 0x3f0-0x417 
0x420-0x42f 0x4a0-0x4a7 0x4d0-0x4d7
cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean.

cardmgr doesn't sense when a card is inserted or removed.  I have tried 3 
different PCI/PCMCIA adapters with no luck (2 Ricoh based and 1 TI based)
Here is the card currently installed

01:07.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c475 (rev 81)
        Control: I/O- Mem- BusMaster- SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- 
Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
        Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- 
<TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
        Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 21
        Region 0: [virtual] Memory at 40000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) 
[disabled] [size=4K]
        Bus: primary=00, secondary=00, subordinate=00, sec-latency=0
        I/O window 0: 00000000-00000003 [disabled]
        I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003 [disabled]
        BridgeCtl: Parity- SERR- ISA- VGA- MAbort- >Reset- 16bInt- 
PostWrite+
        16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001

I am sure the lines below from the lscpi -vv output have something to do 
with it.
I/O window 0: 00000000-00000003 [disabled]
I/O window 1: 00000000-00000003 [disabled]

Any help will be greatly appreciated
Brian
