Hello:
I am trying to understand why this is happening. I have an older laptop and
a new old pcmcia serial interface card ("Quatech Inc, RS-232 Serial Port PC
Card, SSP-100").
So, when I first booted the 4.6 stable image with the pcmcia card in the
slot, it would not recognize it ("com3 at pcmcia0 function 0: can't allocate
i/o space").
Then, I did a bunch of searching, and eventually, figured out how to change
the i/o memory space for pcic0 using config; and, it worked.
But then, then next day, it didn't (I booted the modified kernel, but again
got the same i/o space error).
So, I played with config some more, disable com0,1,2,3; played with the
settings for i/o address and size; and eventually, it worked again.
But, again, the next day, it went unrecognized. So, I played with config
some more, changed i/o address/size, made a new pcmcia com0, disabled
pcic1,2, and maybe something more, and got it to work.
This time I captured the dmesg. Here it is:

I don't know what to make of this. Since I make No changes to the kernel
(with config) between the boots (by this I mean completely powering the
laptop down and restarting it. The pcmcia card is in the slot and I am not
removing/replacing it all during this time) when it is working and not, I am
confused. Is it just bad hardware? But if that were the case, why would it
work sometimes?
Is there something more I should do?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
