I tested with a few different source versions and apparently the problem was introduced with gayle_pcmcia.c 1.30. Reverting to previous version makes it work again.

The A1200 had a known hardware bug, which caused certain cards not to work if inserted previous to boot.

Google for "A1200 pcmcia reset bug".

It´s explained a bit here

AFAIK there was a hardware based fix, and also a software work-around. Maybe the previous pcmcia code implemented the software work-around and the new pcmcia code does not?.

Just thinking aloud...
