Hi All This is the first time I am trying OpenBSD (version 4.2) on my Pentium II laptop (yes a very old laptop). Everything has installed smoothly and fast, except that the cardbus is not working, and since there is no in-built ethernet port in the laptop as it is quite old, my only choice is to use a cardbus based pcmcia ethernet card. But the cardbus slot itself gives an error when OpenBSD boots up. When I use Linux on the same laptop, the cardbus slot and the card work just fine. I tried googling for solutions but could not find any that worked. There is nothing in the BIOS to turn on or off the cardbus since Linux does not require it. I want to use OpenBSD on the laptop.
Here are the details of my laptop, and card and some lines from dmesg command. Unfortunately I cannot paste the dmesg since there is no way I can get that off the laptop without using floppy drives etc. Laptop : HP Omnibook 4100 CPU: Intel Pentium II 686-class 512KB L2 cache, 266 MHz RAM : 64MB Cardbus cbb0 : TI PCI1250 Cardbus Cardbus cbb1 : TI PCI1250 Cardbus Cardbus ethernet card : D-Link DFE-690TXD error from cbb0 and cbb1 while booting is as follows : cbb0: bad Vcc request. sock_ctrl 0xffffff88, sock_status 0xffffffff cardslot0 at cbb0 slot 0 flags 0 cardbus0 at cardslot0: bus 1 device 0 cacheline 0x8, lattimer 0x20 pcmcia0 at cardslot0 cbb1: bad Vcc request. sock_ctrl 0xffffff88, sock_status 0xffffffff cardslot1 at cbb1 slot 1 flags 0 cardbus1 at cardslot1: bus 2 device 0 cacheline 0x8, lattimer 0x20 pcmcia1 at cardslot1 Any help will be greatly appreciated.
