Question: "no valid ROM images found"? 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Sep 01
From: Darin Davis dadavis 

I'm trying to get a "Xircom RealPort Cardbus Ethernet 10/100
RBE-100" to work on my IBM ThinkPad 600X.  I installed RedHat
6.0 and compiled my own 2.2.5-15 kernel.  I compiled and
installed pcmcia-cs-3.1.20.  But on bootup, I get the
message "no valid ROM images found".  I'm sure I've
missed something really obvious, but I'm coming up blank
finding an explanation of that message.

Below is the output of several commands that may be relevant.

Thanks for any assistance.
Darin

I think this is a memory window problem

Re: Question: "no valid ROM images found"? (Darin Davis)

In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, try changing:

  include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

to just:

  include memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

and see if that helps.  If not, try some other ranges like
0xe0000000-0xe0fffffff, or 0x40000000-0x40fffffff.

Dave,

Never in a million years would I have guessed that!
My config.opts file contained:

   include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff

I changed it to:

   include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

and the card now gets detected.

However, in order to successfully ping another
device on the network, I have to "ifconfig eth0 down"
(which deletes the default route)and "ifconfig eth0 up".
With this done, my machine can communicate.  Any ideas
on why I have to manually down/up the interface?

Something else that seems odd is that while the
label on the physical card itself says it's a RBE,
'cardctl ident' says:

Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "Xircom", "CardBus Ethernet II 10/100", "CBEII-10/100", "1.03"
  manfid: 0x0105, 0x0103
  function: 6 (network)

I thought CBE wasn't supported.  But, I'm not complaining!

Many thanks for your help.
Darin

The latest beta might have some effect

You can try the 01-Sep-00 beta on projects.sourceforge.net in
/pub/pcmcia-cs/NEW.  It has several Xircom CardBus driver fixes.

The CBE is not supported.  The CBE II is supported.
