problem configuring pcmcia card
Hello, I'm trying to use a cdrom and a modem/ethernet card on my laptop (asus L8400) They are both detected at boot time, but I'm unable to use them afer. Here are the message I have for the cdrom: pr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.0 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 01:00.0 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.1 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Yenta IRQ list 08b8, PCI irq9 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Socket status: 3410 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Yenta IRQ list 08b8, PCI irq9 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Socket status: 3006 Apr 17 20:02:08 (none) kernel: cs: memory probe 0x0c-0x0f: excluding 0xc-0xcbfff 0xe-0xf Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: probing with STATUS(0x80) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff) Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xb9f8) Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: ide1: DISABLED, NO IRQ Apr 17 20:02:17 (none) kernel: hdc: ERROR, PORTS ALREADY IN USE Apr 17 20:02:19 (none) kernel: ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe Apr 17 20:02:26 (none) last message repeated 3 times Apr 17 20:02:28 (none) kernel: ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) last message repeated 3 times Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x100 & 0x10e, irq 0 failed Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0100-010f> and the message I have for the modem/ethernet card: pr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.0 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Sharing IRQ 9 with 01:00.0 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 00:0a.1 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Yenta IRQ list 08b8, PCI irq9 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Socket status: 3410 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Yenta IRQ list 08b8, PCI irq9 Apr 17 20:02:07 (none) kernel: Socket status: 3006 Apr 17 20:02:08 (none) kernel: cs: memory probe 0x0c-0x0f: excluding 0xc-0xcbfff 0xe-0xf Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: probing with STATUS(0x80) instead of ALTSTATUS(0xff) Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: hdc: IRQ probe failed (0xb9f8) Apr 17 20:02:15 (none) kernel: ide1: DISABLED, NO IRQ Apr 17 20:02:17 (none) kernel: hdc: ERROR, PORTS ALREADY IN USE Apr 17 20:02:19 (none) kernel: ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe Apr 17 20:02:26 (none) last message repeated 3 times Apr 17 20:02:28 (none) kernel: ide1: ports already in use, skipping probe Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) last message repeated 3 times Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x100 & 0x10e, irq 0 failed Apr 17 20:02:34 (none) kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource <0100-010f> The module are correctly loaded (lsmod looks OK), but I can't access those devices.

Thanks for the tips. I'm getting one step further, but I'm still running into
trouble.

Re: Help with pcmcia
En réponse à mey nat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: To check your pcmcia installation, you must use the cardctl command. cardmgr manage your pcmcia socket, detect the insertion or removal of your card, and load the appropriate module if it can find it. To check your system, you should run /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop, and the, /etc/init.d/pcmcia start, to stop and start the pcmcia sub-system, then check the messages in /var/log/message or /var/log/syslog. You'll then know if your card is recognized, and well configured. Renaud > Hey, I have an IBM Thinkpad 560z that I am wrestling > to get Debian on to.

Re: Help with pcmcia
En réponse à mey nat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Can you tell me what are your configuration file. On my system, there were no file by default in /etc/pcmcia, and I'm too new on debian to know which command to perform to re-integrate them (I originally come from slackware). I download the pcmcia-cs package from the sourceforge web site, and copy manually the appropriate file in that directory (there is a /etc directory created in the pcmcia archive). Moreover, if you're running a 2.4.X kernel, your config file must be named 'config-2.4' (or config2.4, can't remember), which is a copy of the config file I found in the pcmcia tarball. I know my method is not very clean, but my system is now working with a 3com modem/ethernet properly set up. You can also read the pcmcia-howto. They are quite clear, and offer a step by step solution: 1. Your base module doesn't load 2. Your base module load, but your card is not recognized. etc... You should try to locate all the configuration file for the pcmcia package, and see if none are missing.
