Hello,
I am on my knees begging for help at this point :) - :(
I am trying to get my JVC XR-W2040 CDROM drive to work under
debian linux as my other CDROM is very flaky even when it is
sometimes seen at bootup. I think I am EXTREMELY close, and
would really appreciated any help. I have been studying the
PCMCIA-Howto, but can't get any farther on my own. I even
re-installed 2.1 debian last night, to erase previous attempts
and start clean.
The system actually sees it as a JVC CDROM, on PCMCIA-SCSI
adapter which is a new media bus toaster. It says it is at
sr0, but something is going wrong, and it is not really seen.
I am not sure if the statement about reseting the SCSI bus for
the second half of retries is an error or not. ?
I have included much information in this post in an attempt
to allow someone with experience to perhaps see what is wrong.
It may be as simple as trying to use IRQ3, when it might actually
be using IRQ3 for a serial device. There is really only one
serial port on my thinkpad 560, I have no idea why it tries to
configure 2 of them. I have included below: (if more is needed I
will comply ASAP)
what I added to /etc/pcmcia/config
cardctl config output (looks OK to me)
cardctl ident output (looks OK to me)
/var/run/stab (says both sockets are empty)
/var/log/daemon.log (appears to actually load the SCSI modules)
dmesg output (complete, notice the 2 serial ports, and the JVC CDROM at
sr0)
(from /etc/pcmcia/config)
