Ian,
I've read throught your last message and have been trying to mount my
"Kanguru PCMCIA portable IDE 2.1 Gig HD" and this is what happens.I
insert the PC card and get this message:
"ide_cs: ide_register () at 0x100 & 0x10e, irq 3 failed"
cardctl status returns:
socket 0: 5v 16-bit card present Function 0: ready, write protect
if I do "cardctl insert" while the PC card is already in the slot I get:
"ioctl(): Device or resource busy"
"/sbin/cardctl ident" returns:
socket 0: product info: "Shining", "PMIDE-ASC", "Rev. 1.04"
function: 4 (fixed disk)
This information seems to indicate certainly "something" is occuring,
not sure what yet, but
I have no "ide" nor "ide.opts" module. When I look in /etc/pcmcia:
cdrom
cdrom.opts
config
config.opts
ftl
ftl.opts
memory
memory.opts
network
scsi
scsi.opts
serial
serial.opts
shared
-------
My question is: is Linux recognizing the PC card, or do I have to go
somewhere else to get it to recognize it? Also, what syntax should I use
to refer to a mountpoint? hdc?
All ideas appreciated and acted on,
- Leslie
