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.

Jul 19 00:36:03 newstart cardmgr[414]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
Jul 19 00:36:03 newstart cardmgr[414]: exiting

Then I set the do_scan=0,include the new mem window (0x68000000-0x68000fff). the system can not boot too. If I remove the card from the socket, the system can boot successfuly. But I will lock again after I inset the card.

Below is waht I found in the log file.

Message Administration

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.
