 |
|
Hello all,
recently a pcmcia problem sneaked into my configuration and I don't know, at which point. Either I must have overwritten a config file without noticing while emerging or I must have misconfigured the kernel (while I just imported old working kernel configurations from the ck-series with make .oldconfig, so I didn't change any fancy stuff here), or, third option, there is a bug in one of the scripts or tools having to do with pcmcia (while I doubt that).
The problem:
| Code: |
existenz pcmcia # /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
* PCMCIA support detected
* Starting pcmcia ...
cardmgr[4939]: no sockets found!
* cardmgr failed to start. Make sure that you have PCMCIA
* modules built or support compiled into the kernel [ !! ]
|
The situation:
- Dell Inspiron 4100, running 2.6.11-ck10
- pcmcia is started in runlevel default
- options in /etc/conf.d/pcmcia:
| Code: |
CARDMGR_OPTS="-f"
SCHEME="home"
PCIC="yenta_socket"
# every other option is empty ("")
|
relevant lines from /usr/src/linux/.config:
| Code: |
#
# PCCARD (PCMCIA/CardBus) support
#
CONFIG_PCCARD=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_DEBUG is not set
CONFIG_PCMCIA=m
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
#
# PC-card bridges
#
CONFIG_YENTA=m
CONFIG_PD6729=m
CONFIG_I82092=m
CONFIG_TCIC=m
CONFIG_PCCARD_NONSTATIC=m
|
pcmcia module is loaded (checked with lsmod)
I checked what's going on in /etc/init.d/pcmcia when starting:
As you can see from the above output, the check
| Code: |
if [[ -e /proc/bus/pccard ]]; then
einfo "PCMCIA support detected"
|
finds PCMCIA support, but the cardmgr doesn't find it. This also happens when I try to start the cardmgr manually.
I also tried to re-emerge pcmcia-cs, and other PCIC options in /etc/conf.d/pcmcia, which didn't help.
Does anybody have a hint or an idea what is going wrong here?
Greetings,
Holger |

Hello all,
I found a solution. Obviously I didn't import kernel configs 100%. yenta_socket was compiled into the kernel before, now it's a module. After modprobing yenta_socket everything works again as it should.
Cheers,
Holger |
