verbose lspci

In case it helps, here's the lspci -v output as well.

With conversations on the rhl-beta list. I tried out my PCMCIA card for my
TravelScan portable PCMCIA scanner. I believe that the card was recognozed. I
got two beeps. I also got this in my /proc/bus/pccard/drivers file (Serial driver)

[jim@jcsevern pccard]$ cat /proc/bus/pccard/drivers
serial_cs                0 0

My laptop seems to use similar drivers for most cases. My problem is the device
is not recognized in the scanner program.

If you haven't done so yet, Check for a newer BIOS for your laptop.

my kernel version is below:

kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl

I have a OZ6912 Cardbus controller listed under my PCMCIA and PC card entries,
under the harware browser.

This uses the yenta_socket driver.


good luck!

here is my /sbin/lspci output.

If I add

exclude irq 1
exclude irq 2
exclude irq 3
exclude irq 4
exclude irq 8
exclude irq 9
exclude irq 10
exclude irq 11
exclude irq 12
exclude irq 13
exclude irq 14
exclude irq 15

to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts it solves many of the problems. Interrupt routing issues?

Once I've added all the IRQ exclusions, I get the following behavior:

* insertion of the first card is not autodetected. I must use cardctl insert to
get the card seen. Once I've done that, if I cardctl eject and insert a new
card, or reinsert the same card, it's autodetected

* if an orinoco_cs is the first card inserted, it still hangs the system hard

* if I insert an e100 first, use it, eject it, then put in the orinoco_cs, it
usually (though not always ;-) works. Occasionally, that still hangs the system,
however

please attach output of acpidmp

Thanks for the dump data. Looks like this is a typical AML code. We should be 
able to reproduce this with our machines. 

please check if latest kernel resolve your problem. and please 
provide the dmesg and lspci output. thanks.

I can't, as I no longer have that laptop
