My symptoms : kernel - 2.0.34 pcmcia - 3.1.x card - lucent ISA to pcmcia, single slot, based on vadem 469 chip computer - old 486-s 33/66/100 ... default setup/boot hung-up on cardmgr - I went to 'by-hand' mode... insmod of 'pcmcia_core' (no opts) worked insmod of 'i82365' (no opts) hangs, but machine OK, <CR> ok, ^C-s nogo (try many timing options consider debugging - nogo) lsmod at this point (from another window...) shows i82365 there, but not initialized. reboot...(often) My solution : peruse web and see many using this card OK, others not OK. try three different ISA motherboard machines, all same. try late 2.x.x release of pcmcia_cs from archives - my client drivers need 3.x.x (ug) try 3.0.13 pcmcia - wa-la - works so far... Thoughts from web notes (from others): somewhere between vadem support enabled and the current 3.x releases that some 'feature' was added (for 2.2.x+ kernels?) that busts the initialization of the vadem chip in this case. Thanks to all for help and advice. I hope this will save some others as much time as you all have saved me! Thanks for a great tool-kit Dave! --danno |
