RE: [newbie] How to work PCMCIA
I've never managed to get my Psion GoldCard PCMCIA card working. This is a 56K fax modem and 10/100 Ethernet card. It gets detected at boot and correctly identified, but I then get (type by hand - any typo's are mine) cs: cb_config(bus 5) cs: could not allocate 512 IO ports for cardbus Socket 1 kernel: Trying to free non-existant resource (-01ff) epic_cb:RequestIO: Out of Resource Anyone got any clues as to what I can fiddle with to work what the problem is (card using incorrect resources and whatnot?) and how to fix it (i.e. where do you specify which resources the card should use). I've been through the PCMCIA HOW-TO, and it should, according to the HOW-TO, be working now, but it's not! :( -Original Message- From: Derek Jennings [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 27, 2002 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject:RE: [newbie] How to work PCMCIA Well first check you have rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs loaded.

I can do - where do I start looking? For example, if I wanted to force the card to use IRQ5, where do I set that kind of thing up?

Re: [newbie] How to work PCMCIA
I cannot help with that particular card, but have you tried the PCMCIA mailing list at the sourceforge page? There is a folder for most pcmcia cards around, and the guy who runs the list is very helpful so long as you demonstrate you have tried to get it running. derek On Tuesday 29 January 2002 13:21, FLYNN, Steve wrote: I've never managed to get my Psion GoldCard PCMCIA card working.

(I suck at the PC config bit!) well you can take a look at /var/log/syslog if there are any conflicts or shares. /etc/pcmcia/config.opts tells you which irq's are reserved for pcmcia -probably 3, the file is fairly self explanatory. Then check whether for instance the Infra Red port is sharing the same irq for instance (there could be more devices). I don't what you've got (I dropped in fairly late here) but if you can change settings through the BIOS, then that's easy enough. In my case I had a Thinkpad with a moronic windoze like BIOSinterface that doesn't give any real options- one needs a special configuration program that runs under DOS to change irq settings. -- Good Luck, Harm Bathoorn.

RE: [newbie] How to work PCMCIA
No confilicts in Syslog other than the one's I posted when I insert or remove the card. The IR port on my Inspiron 3600 doesn't work, neither in windows nor in Linux, so I've assumed it's FUBAR'd. As it's a fairly old machine, the BIOS isn't the most configurable I've ever seen. I think I'll have a sniff around the /etc/pcmcia config files and fiddle with stuff until it works. Is there aynthing in Linux which can dump information about DMA, IRQ's in use and memory address ranges being used - the kind of info I have to boot into Windows to get from My Computer properties panel? All of my Unix experience comes from AIX 6000's and Dynix based Sequent boxes so I'm not to clued up on IRQ's and PC based stuff. -Original Message- From: Harm Bathoorn [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 5:33 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] How to work PCMCIA On Tuesday 29 January 2002 16:06, you wrote: I can do - where do I start looking?
