-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi there! I am trying to install Linux 2.4.4 on the new Toshiba Libretto, the one with the Crusoe CPU, 1280x600 screen, 1kg (I think it is currently only sold in Japan). I am having problems with IRQs and the recognition of system components, which I suspect is the reason, why about half of my devices are unusable. I am getting the message "PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:00.0. Please try using pci=biosirq." This message is repeated for the following devices: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Transmeta Corporation LongRun Northbridge 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Acer Laboratories Inc. 00:0f.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments: Unknown device 8020 00:10.0 IDE interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5229 IDE (rev c3) 00:12.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba ToPIC95 PCI to Cardbus Bridge 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: DECchip 21142/43 I have put the details of /var/log/messages, lspci, /proc/pci, pnpdump and the kernel configuration into the file http://launchers.tripod.com/linux/libretto_logs_n_kernelconfig.txt I searched the mailing-list archives for this error message for the last days, applying suggested kernel parameters and kernel-patches, but without success. Unfortunately the Libretto seems to have no common BIOS - didn't find how to enter and change anything - - all settings are done from Windows :-( Now I have a number of problems, which I suspect are a consequence of the above error message: o PCMCIA cards are not initialized and return the above error message (for device 01:00.0) when inserted. Therefore I can currently not use any PCMCIA device (modem, ethernet, CD-Rom !!!) - THIS IS CRITICAL! o ACPI output is bogus, showing a remaining battery capacity, which jumps every few seconds to levels somewhere between 0 and 100%. The Librtto only supports ACPI. I am using version acpi-20010518 patched against kernel 2.4.4, so it should be up-to-date. o I can not find my internal (win)modem. Neither lspci -vvv, pnpdump nor /proc/pci give any evidence - - but the modem works fine under windows - I mean it is really there. o I fail to initialize the ASLA-sound module for my ALi-chip (same error message). At the moment the core system (CPU, memory, harddisk, screen and keyboard) is working well. But I would like to make the whole system work properly - just don't know what else I can do. I'm not a kernel hacker. Can anybody help? THANKS!
