Hi Folks, I just bought a Dell Inspiron 7500. I installed RH6.1 on it. It comes with pcmcia 3.0.14 Kernel 2.2.12-20 I see in the archive other people have similar problems. I haven't seen any solution yet, so here goes my problem: I have three pcmcia cards. 1) a modem which works fine all the time 2) 3Com Corporation 3CCFE575CT ethernet card. This is not supported in the /etc/pcmcia/config file. I added an entry for it on the file and instructed it to load the 3c575_cb driver. detection happens and the module is loaded. However, I get comploaints about the IRQ: Dec 15 13:30:42 doradus kernel: eth0: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device? It first happened to IRQ3 then excluded IRQ3 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts When I restarted the cardmgr it was assigned IRQ9 with exactly the same result. Reading the mailing-list archive I found some suggestion to exclude port 0x1000-0x17ff I did it to no avail. 3) A NeWMedia BusToaster SCSI adapter. on /etc/pcmcia/config there are two entries for this card on this file. both say: card "New Medias Bus Toaster SCSI" one says: version "New Media", "SCSI", "Bus Toaster" and the other: version "New Media Corporation", "SCSI Bus Toaster Sym53C500" the second one is the one that my system would detect and fail loading the module sym53c500_cs.o . I looked in all of my system for this module and could not find any sign of it. I then changed it to aha152x. I don't know, this may have been a big mistake. However, detection and module loading etc seem to happen fine. However, I get the same IRQ error as I do with the ethernet card. First with IRQ3 and after I disable it, with IRQ9. Once I disable IRQ3 and IRQ9 the system seems to run out of IRQ and simply tells me that. At this point I am lost. Any suggestion will be great. Thanks. Antonio ps: here is the log of inserting and removing the ethernet card: Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus cardmgr[611]: socket 1: 3Com Corporation 3CCFE575CT LAN Cardbus Card 004 Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus cardmgr[611]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/pcmcia/cb_enabler.o' Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus cardmgr[611]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.12-20/pcmcia/3c575_cb.o' Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: 3c59x.c:v0.99L 5/28/99 Donald Becker http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: cs: cb_config(bus 35): vendor 0x10b7, device 0x5257 Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: fn 0 bar 1: io 0x200-0x27f Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: fn 0 bar 2: mem 0x60021000-0x6002107f Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: fn 0 bar 3: mem 0x60020000-0x6002007f Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: fn 0 rom: mem 0x60000000-0x6001ffff Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: vortex_attach(bus 35, function 0, device 5257) Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: eth0: 3Com 3c575 series CardBus (unknown version) at 0x200, 00:50:da:56:05:ad, IRQ 9 Dec 15 13:28:38 doradus kernel: 8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, MII interface.
