PCMCIA CD-ROM does not work

Hello everybody

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-Z600NE with an external PCMCIA 4x CD-ROM drive, 
which used to work perfectly until around 2.4.18. With later kernels 
I did not succeed to get it running. I tried extensively with 2.4.22. 
As far as I remember, 2.4.19-21 did not work either.

I have attached the syslogs for 2.4.18, 2.4.22 and 2.6.0-test7.

Any idea what's wrong? Thanks for the help.

Thom
