Question: install pcmcia on twinhead p79tx 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Jul 20
From: liu liqun happydog

I installed redhat 6.2 on my twinhead p79tx (about two years old). The PCMCIA control IC is TI PCI1131. I try to use a xircom creditcard ethernet card on my laptop. Under win98, all the hardware work well. Under win98, the IRQ for the net card is 11, port 1000-100f, mem 02003000 to 02003fff , 02004000-02004ff the IRQ for the PCI1131 is 10, mem 02000000-02000fff, 02003000 -02004fff. the mem for card service is 02001000-02001fff At first, I let the linux probe the information for me. But it lock up at boot time. I set the PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=10,11" in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and exclude all the irq except 10 ,11 in config.opt. The system still lock up at boot time. I find this in the log file.

I set the PCIC_IPT="irq_mod=3", then everything seem ok. But I can not still receive any data from my xircom CE3B network card. I ping the local gateway and see the yellow LED twinkle. But all the packets are losed. Below are the log file entries.

It doesn't work because "irq_mode=3" is wrong for this system. -- Dave

One thing at a time... Re: Question: install pcmcia on twinhead p79tx (liu liqun) Date: 2000, Jul 21 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

I think you should back up and start from scratch: restore all the original settings. > At first, I let the linux probe the information for me. But it lock up > at boot time. Was this with the card inserted, or not inserted? Start with no special settings and see if the system will boot. If it does, then insert the card. If it does not boot, then try "do_scan=0"; do not use the Windows interrupt settings: they are *wrong* for Linux. > Jul 19 00:36:03 newstart pcmcia: invalid parameter parm_irq-LIST You mis-spelled "irq_list" as "irq-LIST". > Then I set the do_scan=0,include the new mem window > (0x68000000-0x68000fff). the system can not boot too. Do not set the memory window to this. Put the original settings back. -- Dave

1. default config.opts and /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia can not boot not matter has or not has card in the socket. 2. set do_scan=0 2.1 has card in the socket. The laptop gives a high beep and display PCMCIA [OK], then lockup.

Work on this interrupt issue Re: More: Do it step by step (liu liqun) Date: 2000, Aug 01 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Ok, if do_scan=0 helps, then I'd replace it with things like: PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=3,4,7,9,10" PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=3,4,7,11,12" PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=3,4,7" until you can get the system to boot cleanly. One or more interrupts is causing a problem at boot time; it also might be the cause of the problem when you insert your card. It might also be a good idea to upgrade to the latest (3.1.19) PCMCIA driver package. -- Dave

Ok: It works Re: Question: install pcmcia on twinhead p79tx (liu liqun) Date: 2000, Aug 03 From: liu liqun happydog

irq_list=3,4,7,11,12 works. I can use my linux box ftp, telnet ....now. But when I ping other hosts, all the packets but one lost. Maybe a configuration problem! THanks a lot, David.
