pcmcia no cards detected

Hi
I have got a vaio pcg-fx401 with Opensuse 10.1 installed and my pccard
controller does not detect any cards. I haven't been using any of the for
quite a while now but I do remember using them (one is an scsi controller
and the other is a modem) successfully with earlier versions of SuSE (maybe
9.x, 8.x or even 7.x; Definitely worked four and a half years ago, which
version was that then?).
Controller is detected fine but when I query for cards I get:

vaio:~ # pccardctl status
Socket 0:
no card
Socket 1:
no card

And yes, they are both slotted in firmly. Same if I make a pccardctl insert
before.
Anybody have got the same problem (solved)?

What chipset is the controller using? I seem to remember that some
chipsets which worked with 2.2 series kernels were not supported at 2.4.

Do a bios update. I found that a desktop system (so it's pci, but still)
would not take any expansion cards, but when I got a new bios, it was
fixed. It may not be a matter of your OS.

hih,
poly-p man
