 |
|
I'm trying to get my wireless networking card to work with Gentoo on a Compaq 710US laptop. I configured the kernel with PCMCIA off, with wireless LAN on, but without any wireless modules or drivers. Then I recompiled the kernel and emerged pcmcia-cs as follows:
| Code: |
# make dep
# make clean
# make bzImage
# mount /boot
# mv /boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2002-07-16c
# cp /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
# reboot
...
# make modules
# make modules_install
# emerge pcmcia_cs
# reboot
|
My /etc/modules.autoload file has pcmcia_core, i82365, and ds. When I reboot, and the startup script tries to load pcmcia_core, I get a "general protection fault: 0000" message, followed by a register and stack dump, and then "Code: Bad EIP value". However, i82365 and ds still load.
I have this problem with versions 3.1.34-r7, 3.1.34-r8, and 3.1.35_beta2 of the pcmcia-cs package.
My dmesg output is here, and my kernel configuration is here.
What am I doing wrong? |

That's a Bad Thing (TM). What kernel are you using?

What's your CPU? CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS?

In /etc/make.globals:
| Code: |
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS}
|
In /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
USE="3dnow apm pcmcia pnp pda gphoto2 x dga -opengl -xv fbcon directfb
-kde -arts gnome gtk bonobo evo gtkhtml lcms alsa dvd ssl imap ldap
mozilla mozirc truetype xml2 pdflib plotutils tetex perl python libwww
gdbm doc gpm"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe"
