Hi, Karl. I have been experiencing exactly the same sympthoms with the HP CDW m820e since I got the 1.0 driver version from Hiroshi. Previously, the only thing that worked was audio CDs. I have tested with kernel releases 2.2.5, 2.2.12, 2.2.13, 2.2.14, and 2.2.15, and with various pcmcia-cs releases in the 3.1.8 - 3.1.14 range, with essentially constant results. Also compiling with gcc 2.72 or 2.95 didn't seem to make a difference. I sent some commented log files to Hiroshi. When the problem seems to begin, the logs show a repetition of the message "NinjaSCSI3 Interrupt" (or similar), which seems to indicate a problem with interrupt handling. I tried to change as many options as I could in the nin_cs.c file, but without any result. When I installed it under Windows NT, I had to choose the "non IRQ" version of the driver, as it wouldn't work with the default one. I remember reading somewhere, probably in the driver's installation help, that this is necessary for some TI pccard chipsets. My Asus F7400 has the same TI 1220 controller, which makes me suspect that this could be a IRQ handling problem in that chipset. However, in the nin_cs.c file there is a comment stating that the driver doesn't use interrupts, so I don't know what more to try. There is an experimental version for the 2.4 kernel. ¿Have you tried it? If you get any result, even if it doesn't really work, please post it here. I would like to know of it.
