It's Ricoh-based, and seems to be detected according to your dump.
Hmmm, there may be a parameter or two you need to add to
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia (assuming you're using RedHat).

That's bad. It shouldn't be "locking up." Understand that the
Linux card services (cs) is just a mechanism to load a module (like
ide-cs) and run a script (depending on the device) when you
insert/eject a card.
Try booting up without the card inserted. Then inserting it. Also,
what "adapter" are you using, assuming the compact flash requires
one to fit in a PCMCIA slot?

Er, there is no such thing as an "PCI" interrupt. PCI always maps
interrupts back into the dual, 8-channel PC/AT-ISA IRQ controller,
just like ISA.
And, BTW, 16-bit PCMCIA is actually a bridge for ISA, as 32-bit
CardBus is a bridge for PCI.

We use a few different vendors at AVS. I've had issues with SiS and
ViA chipsets though, since most vendors only test for Intel
compatibility (despite lagging marketshare). But in my case, I had
IRQ issues with one not even being assigned.
At least you're getting an IRQ assigned. Again, try booting without
the card inserted and get back to me. It may just be the script.
