Probably not a memory window issue

Do you have any other cards you can try? I don't think it is a memory probe issue. I agree it sounds like a power issue, and with the card not powered up properly, the drivers cannot read any CIS information, regardless of memory window settings. What does "cardctl status" say? Also I'd try booting with the card out, and then insert it later. -- Dave

More: cardctl can see something.... Re: Probably not a memory window issue (David Hinds) Date: 2000, May 11 From: Paul Hayton <pmh@robots.ox.ac.uk>

Thanks for replying. cardctl reports the following : #cardctl status Socket 0: 5V 16-bit PC Card function 0: [ready] Socket 1: no card I get exactly the same results with a D-Link DE-660 Ethernet PCMCIA card, and the same results if I start PCMCIA without the card in, then insert the card afterwards. Just for comparison, the message log from another machine (same manufacturer, before they went and changed all their chipsets - this was a Cirrus PD6710 ISA-to-PCMCIA controller) reports the card as : May 10 09:21:55 scarus cardmgr[282]: initializing socket 0 May 10 09:21:55 scarus cardmgr[282]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk May 10 09:21:55 scarus cardmgr[282]: initializing socket 0 May 10 09:21:55 scarus cardmgr[282]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk May 10 09:21:55 scarus cardmgr[282]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.5/pcmcia/ide_cs.o' May 10 09:21:58 scarus kernel: hde: Calluna Technology CT1040RM, ATA DISK drive May 10 09:21:58 scarus kernel: ide2 at 0x100-0x107,0x10e on irq 3 May 10 09:21:58 scarus kernel: hde: Calluna Technology CT1040RM, 992MB w/128kB Cache, CHS=2016/16/63 May 10 09:21:58 scarus kernel: hde: [PTBL] [1008/32/63] hde1 May 10 09:21:58 scarus kernel: ide_cs: hde: Vcc = 5.0, Vpp = 0.0 May 10 09:21:58 scarus cardmgr[282]: executing: './ide start hde' May 10 09:21:58 scarus cardmgr[282]: + sh: ./ide: No such file or directory May 10 09:21:58 scarus cardmgr[282]: start cmd exited with status 126 and cardctl (from card services 3.0.9 reports) #cardctl status Socket 0: 5V 16-bit card present Function 0: ready, battery dead, battery low Any ideas how to proceed in debugging ? I'm quite happy fiddling with the source if neccessary. Regards Paul
