Using a multimeter, I found the pin on the adapter which connects to pin 43. I pushed the pin back and forth with a small screwdriver until it breaks. I popped it into the laptop, and it didn't freeze! Instead the cardmgr says, Jul 14 18:48:19 Alpha cardmgr[394]: initializing socket 0 Jul 14 18:48:19 Alpha cardmgr[394]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk Jul 14 18:48:19 Alpha cardmgr[394]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.14/pcmcia/ide_cs.o' Jul 14 18:49:07 Alpha kernel: hda: probing with STATUS(0xff) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x50) Jul 14 18:49:07 Alpha kernel: hda: probing with STATUS(0xff) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x50) Jul 14 18:49:07 Alpha kernel: hda: no response (status = 0xff), resetting drive Jul 14 18:49:07 Alpha kernel: hda: probing with STATUS(0xff) instead of ALTSTATUS(0x50) Jul 14 18:49:07 Alpha kernel: hda: no response (status = 0xff) Jul 14 18:49:31 Alpha kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x140 & 0x14e, irq 7 failed Jul 14 18:49:32 Alpha cardmgr[394]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable Jul 14 18:49:32 Alpha cardmgr[394]: shutting down socket 0 Jul 14 18:49:32 Alpha cardmgr[394]: executing: 'rmmod ide_cs' Looks like if I can get it to pass through the probing phase, then I'll be in a good shape. |
