Hello,

I'n trying to setup a vxpocket pcmcia card on a Toshiba SP2100 laptop. I
can't get it to work. I'm running a custom kernel 2.4.20 with pcmcia-cs
support. ALSA driver 0.9.7a, lib, tools, utils 0.9.7.

See my other settings below. I hope someone can give me a hand with this.
I'm clueless. The cardmgr is running but gives a high/low beep sequence
which I believe means it found the card, but was unable to configure it.
It looks like an IRQ problem. Any ideas how to solve this?


yes, most likely.
i think this is a problem of pcmcia configuration.

as a workaround, you can specify the irq number via irq_list module
option of snd-vxpocket.  this gives the available irq numbers for the
card.
note that you have to set 4 numbers here, such as

irq_list=5,7,9,11

(the same numbers can be used mulitple times, though)
check /proc/interrupts and give the available interrupt explicitly to
the option.

I've tried that. I didn't know I had to specify 4 numbers though, but alas no luck either (tried 3,4,5,6 7,9,10,11 3,3,3,3 4,4,4,4 etc). In no case the card appears under /proc/asound. And vxloader tells me no VX-compatible cards found.

The strange thing is snd-vxpocket never complains about any irq setting.
Only when I let cardmgr do the work I get "kernel: snd-vxpocket: RequestIRQ:
Resource in use" in /var/log/messages.

I read somewhere I need ISA support in my kernel. Is that true? I'm about
to try if that helps. Are there any other crucial kernel options? I don't
have APM or ACPI compiled in.

Thanks,
Theo
