If you get the latest 2.4 kernel, the driver is in drivers/ide/legacy
and it's called "ide-cs", not "ide_cs". What version of 2.4 are you
running?

Sounds familiar, I think. Sounds like mismatch in the driver name and
the pcmcia config file. If your driver is named ide_cs, the "devinfo"
inside the driver is set to "ide_cs" and that string won't match an
"ide-cs", which is probably what your pcmcia config file has... I'm
guessing.
