First thing to do: disable OSS and reboot Re: Question: PCIC probe failed (but worked fine yesterday) (Shiv Sikand) Date: 2000, Apr 24 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Can you uninstall OSS, or reconfigure it to not load any kernel modules? I don't understand why OSS would mess up your CardBus bridge settings, but it would be worth verifying whether or not OSS is really at fault here. It appears that something has tried to remap your bridge at a base address of 0x00003000, which is certainly bogus, since that address would overlap the bridge with your system RAM. I assume that you are not specifying any unusual options for the PCMCIA modules? -- Dave

I don't have OSS or ALSA running anymore and I didn't do anything with any of the pcmcia stuff. I rebuilt 1.1.14 and re-installed it just in case The only other thing that I did change was in the IBM BIOS ( which doesn't give a lot of choices) I disable the "Easy Boot" section as advised by IBM's web page for non-windows OS. Well, I've since restored the setting and also booted W98 and all seems to be well in there. Any more clues ? This is driving me nuts. Thanks, Shiv

Ok: Problem resolved Re: Question: PCIC probe failed (but worked fine yesterday) (Shiv Sikand) Date: 2000, Apr 24 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Starting up with CORE_OPTS="cb_mem_base=0x50103000" seems to have fixed the problem. I'm still not sure what caused it in the first place, but the BIOS seems to be mis-configuring the CardBus bridge. -- Dave
