 |
|
| hi all, i'm trying to get my pcmcia working, and when i start my laptop i get an error saying that cardmngr has found no sockets. now if i have enabled pcmcia in tyhe kernel why whould this be happening. what is the difference between in kernel and modules. does it affect startup time. preformance? i saw the wiki and that tells me to use pcmcia_cs but why would there be a in kernel option if it doesnt work or how do i get it to work. thank you all for your help. |

Hi,
I'm also trying to get my pcmcia card to work! 
Actuly it's working I just have to find out why the card dosn't work after I remove the card from the pcmcia slot and put it back in. (small detail)
Hey I can help you get it working once!
Here what you'll have to do:
First go config your kernel to be able to have pcmcia support
| Code: |
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
|
then you go in "Bus options (PCI, PCMCIA, ELSA, MCA, ISA)" -> "PCCARD (PCMCIA/CardBus) support"
PCCard should be a module (I prefer module)
16-bit PCICIA support should be enabled (as a module or a built in)
32-bit CardBus support should be enabled (as a built in on my computer)
CardBus yenta-compatible bridge support should also be enabled (it's a module in on my machine)
compile your kernel with it's new config and reboot
Second you emerge pcmcia-cs
then you should be able to get the pcmcia-cs working by doing this
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs start
|
If everything is right you sould see some activity on your pcmcia card!
Let me know if it helps! |

i'm doing so now.
i did already have pcmcia-cs emerged, so when i am done compiling i'll laready have it.
one question; if i had pcmcia installed while i had the option built into the kernel would that
have any effect on my attempts to get the pcmcia working? |

I have allready emerged pcmcia-cs, but I do not have a /etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs script. I have /etc/init.d/pcmcia, but not /etc/init.d/pcmcia-cs.
When I try to start /etc/init.d/pcmcia, I get an error that says:
'modprobe yenta_socket' failed
Trying alternative PCIC driver: i82365
Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[7582]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
modules built or support compiled into the kernel
Furthermore, I've configured my kernel's pcmcia section as you reccomended, but when I try to insmod those modules (pcmcia.ko, pcmcia_core.ko, yenta_socket.ko, etc), I get "Unknown symol in module" errors. I'm using kernel 2.6.11-rc2-mm2.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

hey,
I am having the same problem getting my pcmcia slots to work. I'm using kernel 2.6.11-r4, and im getting the same error message to the as iandow when i try to run /etc/init.d/pcmcia :
| Code: |
# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
* 'modprobe yenta_socket' failed
* Trying alternative PCIC driver: i82365
* Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[14847]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel
|
pcmcia support is definitely compiled into the kerenel:
| Code: |
Bus options --->
PCCARD (PCMCIA/CardBus) support --->
<M> PCCard (PCMCIA./CardBus) support
<M> 16-bit PCMCIA support
[*] 32-bit CardBus support
<M> CardBus yenta-compatible bridge support
<M> i82365 compatable bridge support
<M> i82092 compatable bridge support
|
Is there somewhere else in the configuration i need to activate pcmcia support? The only other promising part of the kernel config looks like device drivers --> block devices---> ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support---> PCMCIA IDE support, and I've got that turned on as a module.
If i try modprobing ds, pcmcia core, i82365 or yenta_socket manually i get an "Invalid module format" error.
I've also tried emerging pcmcia-cs, but it doesnt seem to help the cause.
Could something other setting be conflicting with it? |
