Question: only one socket recognized on a machine with 2 Type II's

Hi - I have been trying to get PCMCIA support up and running with Caldera OpenLinux, build 2.0.35 -- right now only socket 0 is even being recognized. An excerpt from the boot messages is : . . . Intel PCIC Probe VIA VT83C469 at port 0x3e0 ofs 0x00, 1 socket host opts [0]: ring ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,5,7,9,11,12 status change on irq 11 . . . I have CD-ROM successfully mounted on socket 0. Any ideas on what is keeping socket 1 from getting seen? Thanks in advance - Jesse

This setup sounds strange to me Re: Question: only one socket recognized on a machine with 2 Type II's (Jesse) Date: 2000, May 20 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

So... what kind of machine is this, exactly? You can try specifying PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1" in your PCMCIA startup options (/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia for Red Hat). I'm not sure how else the probe could misdetect the number of sockets. -- Dave
