Question: Tecra 8100 issues (uses ToPic100) 

Forum: PCMCIA on Toshiba laptops

I have a Xircom RBEM56G-100 (CardBus) combo card. I have not been able to get this card working although have successfully installed the REMG-100 (16-bit) on several occasions but cannot get the CardBus one to work. I am using the 2.2.14 and the lastest pcmcia package. TIA.

Congratulations on picking the hardware combo from hell Re: Question: Tecra 8100 issues (uses ToPic100) Date: 2000, Mar 31 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Toshiba laptop support has known problems that can't be solved without help from Toshiba. And the Xircom CardBus driver is also known to have problems, and is "experimental". System log messages are often a good place to start. -- Dave

I switched Xircom cards and now am using the RE-100 (16-bit 10/100 card). When I boot I get depmod errors not related to the card (scsi, ide, etc.) and I hear the "good" beeps. As soon as the login prompt appears, I cannot type into the concole. The 3-finger salute also fails. I can boot into single user to modify things but nothing I have tried works. The network is up though because I can telnet into the laptop. I am using 2.2.14 and 3.1.13 on a Debian system. Any ideas? -Ian

It is an interrupt probe issue Re: More: Loss of console/keyboard Date: 2000, Apr 04 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

See the HOWTO section on interrupt probe failures and try the suggested fixes. -- Dave
