Question: PCMCIA won't start (Kernel 2.4.0-test5, pcmcia-cs-3.1.20)

Hi, I am having terrible troubles getting the PCMCIA package to work on my PC. I have kernel 2.4.0-test5 installed. I originally compiled this with all of the PCMCIA options, but after reading a previous message, I have since compiled the kernel with no PCMCIA options. Instead I have compiled the pcmcia-cs-3.1.20 package. I should point out that I am using a PCMCIA internal ISA card reader for a desktop with a VIA VT83C479 controller chip. This should be OK. Also, isapnp detects this PCMCIA reader. On startup, these are the messages that are written to the log : Aug 10 15:02:02 sydhcp131216 kernel: isapnp: Scanning for Pnp cards... Aug 10 15:02:02 sydhcp131216 kernel: isapnp: Card 'VIA PCMCIA CARD' Aug 10 15:02:02 sydhcp131216 kernel: isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total Aug 10 15:02:03 sydhcp131216 pcmcia: Starting PCMCIA services: Aug 10 15:02:03 sydhcp131216 kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.20 Aug 10 15:02:03 sydhcp131216 kernel: kernel build: 2.4.0-test5 #16 SMP Thu Aug 10 12:59:18 EST 2000 Aug 10 15:02:03 sydhcp131216 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] Aug 10 15:02:03 sydhcp131216 kernel: Intel PCIC probe: not found.

If anyone can offer any suggestions it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Talei.

I don't think the PnP card has been activated Re: Question: PCMCIA won't start (Kernel 2.4.0-test5, pcmcia-cs-3.1.20) (Talei McLeod) Date: 2000, Aug 10 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

> Also, isapnp detects this PCMCIA reader. I'm not really familiar with how the kernel isapnp subsystem works. I think that the fact the card was detected does not mean that it was turned on. Use the pnpdump and isapnp utilities to configure the card, then start PCMCIA after that, and you should have better luck. I should figure out how to hook the i82365 driver into the kernel isapnp interface, but at the moment, they don't talk to each other. -- Dave
