Unable to access PCMCIA/CF Card in Common Memory Mode (neewbie)

Dear all,

 I am working on a Custom Built Variant of ARM Versatile Board. We have
a PCMCIA/CF Module integrated in Processor. This have a single  Memory
Space of 128k Shared Between Attribute Memory, Common Memory & TrueIDE
Mode. It has Register Setting to Select any one of Attribute memory,
Common  Memory, IO Memory & TrueIDE Modes. Same Memory Range is Made
available as per Register Settings. It has a single Interrupt for all CF
Events. 

I am able to read from the CF Card CIS Data & Sectors/MBR in Standalone
code from Attribute Memory & Common Memory. 
working on Linux 2.6.20.6 Version with latest pcmciautils 0.14
installed. I modified Atmel & Omap CF Code to match our board.

after booting I get an error as -->

ide-cs: ide_register() at 0xc2802000 & 0xc280200e, irq 22 failed

I have installed pcmciautil tools but none is running on startup. is
their any scripts or tools that i need to call at system startup.
i have enabled udev but not installed/running any udev tools. 

for the reference i have attached req outputs

----> I have enabled below mentioned configs in kernel configuration.

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECS=y

Kindly let me know if i need change any codes. As i am able read in
Standalone mode from Common Memory what chanegs shld i do to read from
io Space.
