 |
|
On a fresh install on my old laptop, I can't get PCMCIA to work - as the title says, /etc/init.d/pcmcia freezes the system. No traces in /var/log/messages.
Any ideas? Any kernel options I should check? I seem to recall that there is a way around using pcmcia-cs?
Kernel version is 2.6.17-gentoo-r2, pcmcia-cs is 3.2.9-20050614. I can post the kernel config If needed, but I'll refrain from it for now (I hate ultra long posts

First question: do you have a PCMCIA socket?
Second question: do you have the right kind support in the kernel for your PCMCIA socket?

Yes, of course. I had this working (sort of) before a reinstall.

Well, yenta support is compiled in and the socket is recognized during bootup. |

Ah ha, so you're using the testing branch? Try the current stable version and see if that helps. Thats pcmcia-cs-3.2.8-r2 on x86.

Thanks, that seems to have done it!
Now let's see whether my wireless card is detected correctly after a reboot |

Seems I was wrong. If I start /etc/init.d/pcmcia manually after boot, it works. But when I run the initscript during the boot process, it still freezes the system.
So, any other suggestions? Anyone?
Thanks |

Ok, FWIW, here are the relevant parts of dmesg output: | Quote: | ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:13.0[A] -> Link [LNKA] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ
9
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:13.0 [10cf:10e6]
Yenta O2: res at 0x94/0xD4: ea/00
Yenta O2: enabling read prefetch/write burst
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0cb8, PCI irq 9
Socket status: 30000418
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:13.1[B] -> Link [LNKB] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ
9
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:13.1 [10cf:10e6]
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0cb8, PCI irq 9

and of the kernel configuration: | Quote: |

Sorry, havn't got a clue. All I can really think of is roll back everything to the stable branch...

| Hm. What about the other option, using PCMCIA without pcmcia-cs? Am I mistaken about this, or is pcmcia-cs the only possibility? |

| PCMCIA-CS is deprecated. Use pcmciautils (and you can take out the IOCTL from your kernel too, that's only for pcmcia-cs). |
