Vivanco PCC USB 2.0 trips Dell Inspiron 2100's internal circuit breaker

2004-11-06 Thread Aaron Bingham
Hello all,
I recently purchased a Vivianco Cardbus to USB 2.0 adaptor (Model no. 
14359), which is listed as linux compatible at 
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showctrl.php?id=69.

Unfortunately as soon as I insert the card into the CardBus slot of my 
running Dell Inspiron 2100, the internal circuit breaker of my laptop 
trips.  If I insert the card before powering on the laptop, the boot 
process makes it some way into the "Discovering Hardware" phase before 
tripping the circuit breaker.  Presumably this is the point at which the 
OS attempts to initialize the card.  The breaker is tripped even if I 
have no USB devices plugged into the adapter.

I am running Debian Sarge with a custom built 2.6.4 vanilla kernel.
Any ideas what could be going on here?
Thanks,
Aaron

If the card works on another laptop your computer might have some hardware
problems. If it doesn't, I'd say the card is dead. You also might want
to test the computer with another card to be sure it is not your
laptop that is acting up.

Even new hardware is known to be DOA, that is why there is a warranty.

sarge on Acer doesn't boot

2004-11-06 Thread Pavel Novák
Hi,
I installed Debian Sarge on my new Acer TM 4001WLMi, but after install 
it doesng boot. Only with parameter pci=off or pci=conf2 it boots 
otherwise it's freeze on message "linux agpgart interface" but pci 
deviecs doesn't work. I use kernel 2.6.8.1.

Mandrake with the same verison of kernel boots good with acpi=off.
Cheers,
