Any ideas? One: as stated in pcmcia docs, check what was the log entry on insertion of the card into the slot (when you got a high and then low beep). Look for entries starting with 'cs:'. Alternatively, reboot with card in a slot and check dmesg output. This way you will get to see what is the name pcmcia package recognized your card under. After that check if there is a card like that in /etc/pcmcia/config. Now, as Heather mentioned there is a Netgear card there, it may simply be called differently (TXC instead of TX). Try additng an entry with proper card description for your card and see if cardsoft would recognize it then. (Don't forget to do '/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart' after you changed config file). I have installed Debian over the network on my IBM TP770E (mod.19548), but I went for potato (), not slink. There was a bit of a problem with pcmcia package when I've done so (the one included in boot floppy image was not working), but I simply fetched the .deb with dependencies, copied it over onto a floppy and dpkg'ed it manually.

Help required: pcmcia-source/kernel-source-2.2.17 problems
Hi there! I am running a laptop with Debian unstable. Everything works fine with the stock kernel-image (2.2.17 pre 6) and related pcmcia-modules packages, but I'd like to build a custom kernel to add sound support. (To make myself clear: If I uses Debian's binary kernel & pcmcia packages, everything works fine, including PCMCIA, but I get no sound support). So, as usual, I installed the kernel-source (2.2.17) & pcmcia-source packages (+ kernel-package + ...). I then configure and compile the kernel and modules as usual: $ make-kpkg clean $ make xconfig $ make-kpkg clean $ make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image $ make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 modules_image All this works fine. But, when I install these packages: $ dpkg -i *custom.1.0*.deb and then reboot my system, the system hangs as soon as "/etc/init.d/pcmcia start" is executed. To check that it really is a PCMCIA problem, I have removed the file "/etc/init.d/pcmcia start". Without it, I have been able to boot my system, and run it as usual, including the custom kernel's sound support. More about the system hang: When I execute "/etc/init.d/pcmcia start", the system continues to run for a few seconds, until I hear a "single" beep. Once it has beeped, the system completely hangs; nothing works: keyboard, mouse, etc. (Usually it makes 2 beeps using Debian's binary packages, then continues to run normally). I suspect that something is wrong in my ".config" file. I must have forgotten to set an option, but I don't know which one. I have included my ".config" file as attachment.

vaio 505JE and ethernet + usb
All, I recently purchased a Sony Vaio PCG-Z505JE. There is a page for it off of the Linux Laptops page: http://larve.net/people/hugo/2000/07/linux-vaio Anyway, on several pages with similar laptops it is mentioned that the ``Plug And Play OS'' option (in the BIOS) needs to be turned off in order to use USB and sound. The problem is that when this option is turned off I can't configure the internal ethernet card w/o the laptop completely hanging (yes, hanging). With the option turned on I can run pump, or ifconfig w/o any worries. I have a second problem wrt USB. I have tried this with the ``Plug And Play OS'' option turned off and with it turned on. I have patched kernel 2.2.16 with the USB backport from here: http://www.suse.cz/development/usb-backport/ It compiled just fine and I'm running the kernel now. Here's the problem. Several web pages suggested that these steps needed to be run: (I'm attempting to access my usb floppy) o modprobe usb-storage - this works great. When I do this it loads the usb-storage module along with the usbcore and scsi_mod module. o echo "scsi add-single-device 1 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi - i do this and then if I cat the ``/proc/scsi/scsi'' file it says ``Attached devices: none''. o I then try to mount the floppy with ``mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt''. The sd_mod module is loaded and it tells me that /dev/sda is not a block device. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Even if I can access my USB device, if I have to turn off Plug And Play OS in the BIOS I then can't use my ethernet card!

problem of XFree4.0 and apm [WAS: strange melting screen when X starts]
Since experimental XFree 4.0.1 deb is out, check x-strikeforce page. I just put it on my laptop which use trident cyber 9525dvd and have it run fine, mostly. The only problem I experienced is when I do apm stuffs wither suspend or standby then resume back, X would freeze up the whole machine, only power cycle can help, huh :(. That was in my main partition, what a bravery to put experimental X in my main laptop. It was down graded back to 3.3.6. But, ANW, I want to give Xfree 4 a try so I put it in minimal chroot environment. This time, when resume from apm, X is still working but the window manager, fvwm in this case, would not response to any mouse click, but it does response to mouse movement and I can kill X. BTW, DPMS option was already turned on. Has anyone has an experient with XFree 4 and apm stuff?

Re: Help required: pcmcia-source/kernel-source-2.2.17 problem?
you don't say what type of laptop you have. Some laptops don't use 100% Cardbus compatible protocols, so this hangs the machine. Recompile your pcmcia drivers with 32bit cardbus turned off. Hopefully this will solve your problems. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Get the source of the pcmcia-utils (unless of course you're using 2.4.0-testx - but I don't assume that) and during configure you get asked if 32-bit (aka CardBus) Support should be compiled in.

Get the latest kernel source from ftp://ftp.kernel.org (or a nearby mirror) and the pcmcia source from ftp://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/pub/pcmcia-cs. Unpackage the sources, the kernel in /usr/src/linux and the pcmcia drivers in /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-??? (or something similar, however the name is quite irrelevent). Compile yourself the kernel. Instead of using xconfig I would recommend using 'make menuconfig' as it just feels much nicer ;) However if you prefer xconfig do use it. Then after you have installed the new kernel go to /usr/src/pcmcia-cs-??? and type 'make config'. Choose the options you need and turn off 32bit (cardbus) support. After it has been configured type 'make install'. This will finish off all pcmcia driver stuff and you should be ready to roll ;) do a reboot and everything should work good luck Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The sd_mod module is loaded and it tells me that /dev/sda is not a block device. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Even if I can access my USB device, if I have to turn off Plug And Play OS in the BIOS I then can't use my ethernet card! Anyone have any suggestions? -- seth / [EMAIL PROTECTED]
problem of XFree4.0 and apm [WAS: strange melting screen when X starts]
Since experimental XFree 4.0.1 deb is out, check x-strikeforce page. I just put it on my laptop which use trident cyber 9525dvd and have it run fine, mostly. The only problem I experienced is when I do apm stuffs wither suspend or standby then resume back, X would freeze up the whole machine, only power cycle can help, huh :(. That was in my main partition, what a bravery to put experimental X in my main laptop. It was down graded back to 3.3.6. But, ANW, I want to give Xfree 4 a try so I put it in minimal chroot environment. This time, when resume from apm, X is still working but the window manager, fvwm in this case, would not response to any mouse click, but it does response to mouse movement and I can kill X. BTW, DPMS option was already turned on. Has anyone has an experient with XFree 4 and apm stuff? Chanop -- ## #Chanop Silpa-Anan # #gpg @ http://kenji.anu.edu.au/~chanop/chanop.asc# ##

Re: Help required: pcmcia-source/kernel-source-2.2.17 problem?
you don't say what type of laptop you have. Some laptops don't use 100% Cardbus compatible protocols, so this hangs the machine. Recompile your pcmcia drivers with 32bit cardbus turned off. Hopefully this will solve your problems. Alex

(This may be a dumb question, but I don't remember seeing anything about Cardbus in "make xconfig"...) Thanks Etienne -- -- Etienne M.

Get the source of the pcmcia-utils (unless of course you're using 2.4.0-testx - but I don't assume that) and during configure you get asked if 32-bit (aka CardBus) Support should be compiled in. Say No here. kind regards, -fkr

Any ideas? I used the boot disk for Omoikane Linux. It is a japanese distro but has English option. I install the base system, then edit /etc/apt/sources.list then finish installing. try http://www.omiokane.co.jp/ Good Luck -- Jack Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Debian 2.2 http://www.mandinka.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
