Re: [gentoo-user] PCMCIA progress

Hi Jerry,

So your /proc/bus/pccard is also missing the two digit files aka:
% ls -l /proc/bus/pccard
total 0
dr-xr-xr-x2 root root0 Jun  2 13:13 00
dr-xr-xr-x2 root root0 Jun  2 13:13 01
dr-xr-xr-x2 root root0 Jun  2 13:13 02
dr-xr-xr-x2 root root0 Jun  2 13:13 03
-r--r--r--1 root root0 Jun  2 13:13 drivers

I decided to try and bracket the problem by making and booting an
install CD on another system so that I could copy the /proc/config.gz
file, which I needed in order to try the genkernel approach...

The genkernel is now building (under my host 2.4 kernel) so it will
be a couple of hours before I can try your suggestions.

Anyway, thanks for your offer of assistance. I'll see how the
autoconfig goes when genkernel finishes, and then if it looks
good (proving that 2.6 gentoo hasn't lost compatibility with any
of the hardware I am using) I'll have another go at working out
exactly which drivers I need for a manual config.

I think it is probably a worthwhile exercise to get the manual config
going, as it should give me a much better understanding of what drivers
my hardware is using, and give me a faster boot and smaller kernel footprint.

Regards,
DigbyT

 Have you modprobed cs? How about a simple cardctl ident?

Re: [gentoo-user] PCMCIA progress

2005-06-01 Thread Digby Tarvin
Thanks Richard,

The yenta tip certainly seems to have helped. The system now seems
to recognise the existance of the bridge, and when I insert the 3Com
card, it recognises both the network interface and the serial port
from the modem.

There are still no '00' etc files in the /proc/bus/pccard directory,
so this must behave differently in the 2.6 kernel. 

It seems I still have a bit of work to do, however, as the network
interface doesn't seem to be working, and with the other (Xircom)
card it only recognises the serial interface. It doesn't see the
network part at all.

I also get some worrying messages about irq 11 which it seems to
use, along the lines of
irq 11: nobody cared!
Disabling IRQ #11
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
which may having something to do with the failure...

I'll need to install something like kermit before I can tell if the
modem is working.

Below is the latest dmesg output, in case anyone can spot any indications
of other misconfigurations...

I am a little puzzled as to why:
ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
appears twice - is that normal?

Regards,
DigbyT
