Problem w/Thinkpad 390

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Jun 07
From: John Auer jaa

System: IBM Thinkpad 390 OS: Debian 2.2.14 cardctl version 3.1.15 PCMCIA card: 3COM 3CXEM556 NIC/modem

Current config.opts settings: include port 0x108-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff exclude irq 3 exclude irq 4 exclude irq 5 exclude irq 7

Also tried: include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

If I boot into Linux directly from powerup, I consistently get "timed out during reset" errors. Booting into 98 first, and then rebooting into Linux doesn't work the first time (bridge register mapping failed). Rebooting (into Linux) again DOES work. I've tried different high mem settings, interrupt exclusion, etc., but I can't make heads or tails of this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First (cold) boot:

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
