Angry: Satellite 4090XDVD and zipslack - NO WAY! till now... 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops

I have a Satellite 4090DVD toshiba laptop and I have installed both redhat and zipslack. I was trying to install my pcmpia card (DEC21143) and couldn't have my keyboard working. I can enter redhat only through linux single and then disable pcmcia so I can type again!

Don't ask about slackware! It appears DARKSTAR LOGIN: and that's it! I can't type a word! In redhat at least I can enter through single user but zipslack seems to be impossible.

I read some usenet messages talking about Toshiba Laptop Keyboard not working with either 2.2.7 or RedHat 6.0 and a guy was talking that the problem might be solved upgrading the pcmcia-cs-3.0.12.

Clarissa PS: by the way: RED HAT kernel 2.2.12 & PCMCIA 3.0.14 Zipslack kernel 2.2.13 and PCMCIA i wonder...it just say something about topic95 and that's all i can remember

Interrupt probe problem

I think this is an interrupt probe problem.  If you set:

    PCIC_OPTS="do_scan=0"

in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, the problem will go away.  Another quick
workaround: if you suspend and resume, then the keyboard will work
again.

Thanks a million to David Hinds I could edit my 
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia with the following:
  PCIC_OPTS="do_scan=0 irq_mask=0xefff"

FINALLY I could enter RH with my pcmcia enabled but it says

PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.14 no socket drivers loaded Kernel build: 2.2.12-5cl options [PCI] [CARDBUS] [APM]

Thanks again
