Steps to reproduce:
Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2008-05-10 11:11:58 UTC 
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?
Comment 2 Kristoffer Ericson 2008-05-10 11:33:33 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Alan 2008-05-10 14:01:20 UTC 
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
