hello Seems that devpccard is the only one that hangs the computer.
If i plug a pcmcia card (network card or tv card those are the one i have been able to get) the pc hangs, and more funny, sometimes, when i poweroff-poweron the computer and it hanged due to pccard, the kernel hangs without a card in the slop. i mean, boot with a card -> kernel hangs -> poweroff -> poweron ->boot without a card -> kernel hangs (crappy hardware :-? too much smart bios with weird settings? ) Also if i insert a card on an already booted system, it get's hanged. i will try to see any devpccard changes in the last months, it will be a great success to recover plan9-bility of my work notebook (while the broadcom drivers gets done the pccard is the only way to have network). thanks gabi On 3/29/07, erik quanstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
that's great progress for one day. *nopcirouting is not typically helpful and if your machine worked before without pcirouting, it is unlikely that it would help now. one silly quesiton. is the card plugged into a working network? is this different than before when it was working? at this point it would make a lot of sense to try the older driver. if the older driver works, there don't appear to be many changes so if this is the problem, you can easily figure out which one broke your 8139. - erik On Thu Mar 29 04:58:55 EDT 2007, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hello > > thanks for the encouragement. > > I compiled a new kernel without pccard support, and now it boots, even > the sdata wiht the new ids and the hd dma.
