Hello. I just purchased used IBM Thinkpad 560X, which works otherwise fine, but not the external CD-ROM -drive (as in subject).
Is there any way to get it to work? It reports as Nov 15 23:42:39 stinkpad cardmgr[3170]: product info: "KME", "KXLC005", "00" Nov 15 23:42:39 stinkpad cardmgr[3170]: manfid: 0x0032, 0x0704 function: 8 (SCSI) and I made extensive web searched with the string. Most of the pages are in Japanese and of no help, even if translated to English with Altavista. However, there are few pages of interest: Quote from http://euc.jp/beos/atacard-hcl.en.html: "(*2) KXLC005 will never work as it turns out to be deviate from standard IDE" Althought it is about BeOS, I suppose it is relevant with Linuxia too. _BUT_ at the web page http://bazaar.turbolinux.co.jp/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/kernel-2.4/SPECS/\ kernel-2.4.spec?sortby=rev it is written: "- support kme kxlc005 by pcmcia-cs ide_cs" What the heck this means?! Apparently is is about TurboLinux, but following the links I can not find any usable source code/patches. Any ideas about it? If it helps anything here are pictures about the device: http://www.notebooky.cz/old/test/panacdplayer.asp The CD-ROM drive works in Windoze, so it's physically OK. Also my PCMCIA modem works in Linux, so the PCMCIA controller is OK, too. I tried manually specifying to load one of the three SCSI-drivers, and ide_cs, but without success. It think qlogic_cs is nearest to the CD-ROM drive, but it hangs completely when I try it. My distribution is Debian Potato, but I tried upgrading to the 2.2.20 kernel and PCMCIA-CS 3.1.29 (from source), but without change. Saved logs follow: - In the beginning I tried with default settings. Card is not identified.
