Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops
Re: Question: Tecra 8000 and Xircom realbus 10/100 +modem (Pat Colbeck)

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

The startup problem should be fixed in the 3.1.12 beta Re: More: Me too ... (Rhys Morgan) Date: 2000, Mar 02 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

The cb_mem_base check is fixed in the current beta, on sourceforge.org in /pcmcia/NEW. As for the card detection issue, I'm not sure. This sounds very much like other Toshiba problems that have been reported over the past couple years, that I thought had been resolved with newer drivers. If these problems persist, I think I would want to see your system log messages. And do "cardctl insert" / "cardctl eject" work? -- Dave

Dave, Yes, the new version (dated 02-March-2000) resolved both the cb_mem_base error and the cardmgr eternal wait. Thank you, Rhys
