Question: Tecra 8000 and Xircom realbus 10/100 +modem 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops

Hi I am running SuSE 6.3 on my Tecra8000 with a Xircom RealPort card. I have upgraded the kernel to 2.2.14 and the PCMCIA drivers to 3.1.11. I copied the Suse /sbin/init.d/pcmcia script over the generic one after upgrade as recommened. I have excluded the recommended IRQs for Tecras in config.opts. On boot it fails loading the i82365 saying "device or resource busy" Before I upgraded it loaded fine and the ethernet worked OK, the modem didn't though hence the upgrade. In messages I see this:- Intel PCIC probe: Bridge register mapping failed: check cb_mem_base settings not found ds: no socket drivers loaded! I have confined the scan to irq 11 in rc.config but that hasn't helped. Any help appreciated Pat

I also receive the "... check cb_mem_base" message from i82365 during bootup. However, if I remove the pcmcia_core module and then run "pcmcia start" I have the modules pcmcia_core, i82653, and ds loaded; I also have cardmgr running in the background. Which leads me to the next point: cardmgr waits forever on its select() call, never detecting activity. cardctl shows nothing in the slots. This is irrespective of the actual card in the slot - RealPort or otherwise. I have a Toshiba Tecra8000, and probe tells me that I have a ToPIC95-B in it. I am running a 2.2.9-17 kernel from Red Hat, and pcmcia-cs-3.1.11. The BIOS setting is CardBus/16bit. I also have Win-NT4 on the computer, which lets me use a RealPort card quite happily. If anyone could help, it would be appreciated! Cheers, Rhys
