|
Hello All,
I have checked all the forums and have yet to find a solution to this very frustrating problem. If anyone has any solutions, please, please help me.
I am running gentoo (kernel 2.4.22) on an ibm thinkpad. I am trying to setup my Netgear Wireless Card (which worked previously on RH 8 & 9), but I just can't get it to work. My situation is as follows:
Kernel Configuration has PCMCIA not installed.
lsmod shows ds, pcmcia_core & i32685 as loaded.
pcmcia-cs is emerged as is wireless-tools. linux-wireless-ng is not installed
/etc/init.d/ contains net.eth0 (built-in nic) and net.eth1 (but not added to rc-update).
When I boot my laptop, i get...
| Code: |
* Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[730]: watching 1 sockets
cardmgr[730]: starting, version is 3.2.4
cardmgr[730]: socket 0: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter
cardmgr[730]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
cardmgr[730]: executing: './network start eth0'
* Initializing random number generator...
INIT: Entering runlevel: 3
|
After that, i get a series of random numbers and then
| Code: |
<0>Kernel Panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
In interrupt handler - not syncing
|
and then the thing just hangs, and I have to do a hard reboot. This doesn't happen if i take the card out.
I have followed all of the instructions in:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=26716
with no success.
If anyone else has had this problem or has any idea how to fix, your help with be greatly appreciated.
Thanks... |

I think I got it 
After 6 hours of research and 100 hard re-boots, I found that on some hardware, pcmcia-cs and cardmgr have serious problems talking in 32-bit mode.
In the end, all it took was an upgrade to pcmcia-cs from 3.2.4 to 3.2.5.
I know there are others who have had this problem, and I really hope this solution helps
Thanks |
