I had the same problem the all solution is to not check a memory segment defined into the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts -----------8<--------------------------------------- # # Local PCMCIA Configuration File # #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # System resources available for PCMCIA devices include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff [...] -----------8<--------------------------------------- And the daemon start fine !!!!
