Platform: Mandrake 6.1 on Philips TravelNote 580 (2.2.13) PCMCIA version: 3.1.8 Cards: generic NE200 compatible and generic modem Controller: Cirrus PD7629 Problem: Having built 3.1.8 from source to overcome the problems with the version included in Mandrake 6.1, I have a system where my PCMCIA setup seems to work perfectly so long as I do not try and touch the CD. Conversely, if I turn PCMCIA off using /etc/sysconf/pcmcia, the CD works properly. I have tried following the advice in the HOWTO and have added PCIC_OPTS=irq_list=9,10 to /etc/sysconf/pcmcia and have tried several exclude commands in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to restrict both ports and memory with no success. While PCMCIA is active, any attempt to mount /dev/cdrom "freezes" that session. Other sessions continue normally. If the mount attempt is via KDE/KFM, the Cancel button can be used to recover. Some time after a command line mount, the whole system hangs and must be powered off to recover. dmesg produces the following: Intel PCIC probe: Cirrus PD6729 PCI-to-PCMCIA at bus 0 slot 19, port oxfcec, 2 sockets host opts [0]: [ring] [1/3/2] [1/9/2] host opts [1]: [ring] [1/3/2] [1/9/2] ISA rqs (default)=9,10 polling interval = 1000 ms cs: IO port probe 0x1000-0x17ff: clean cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff; excluding 0x200-0x207 0x378-0x37f ox398-0x39f ox4d0-0x4d7 cs: memory probe 0xc0000-0xcffff: excluding 0xc0000-0xcbfff eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 9, hw_addr 00:80:C8:8B:29:CF The CD is on hdc (ide1) and is using the usual adresses and irq. Hoping there is a simple solution. Cheers and thanks, Stephen Davies |
