Re: Dell Inspiron 2500 PCMCIA issues
Hi, so I compiled the kernel with the PCMCIA/CARDBUS support turned on.
WHen I run ./test_setup I get:
debian:/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.31/debug-tools# ./test_setup
Current kernel: 2.4.17 #6 Tue Feb 19 07:50:28 PST 2002
/lib/modules/2.4.17/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o not found.
The PCMCIA modules are not installed for this kernel!
Checking current syslog files in /var/log:
All PCMCIA messages are in /var/log/syslog.

Module status:

Daemon status:
cardmgr is running (process 4880)
Current socket status from /var/lib/pcmcia/stab:

Presumably I can ignore the "Modules are not installed for this
kernel" message since it is now compiled into the kernel.
Starting and stopping the pcmcia services gives me this in the syslog
(poll_interval=100) is the only option I am passing in.

My dmesg still reports:
PCI: Using configuration type 1
PCI: Probing PCI hardware
PCI: Using IRQ router PIIX [8086/244c] at 00:1f.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(f4300000-f42fffff) for 01:03.0
PCI: Failed to allocate resource 0(f4300000-f42fffff) for 01:03.1
but the Yenta gives:
Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta IRQ list 0c98, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000006
so maybe it is finding something....

Other notes: The bios is uptodate and doesn't give any control over
the PCI bus. Sigh.
As usual I would love help/suggestions/ideas...thanks!
peace,
