argh, I know nothing about pcmcia card services and Dominik seems to have disappeared. At a guess, I'd say that some misbehaviour in pata_pcmcia has caused the pcmcia core to get this CS_NO_MORE_ITEMS status. But we changed little in pata_pcmcia and in pcmcia for 2.6.25. Hopefully Alan or Russell can suggest what might cause this?
Without taking any notice of the pata_pcmcia: probe of 0.1 failed with error -12 but that mount command doesn't look right, shouldn't device be at left of mountpoint.
No idea, no similar reports I've seen and also we use the same pcmcia side code as ide_cs which has worked for years.

The same result: ~$ sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
