[tlinux-users-j:03311] PC card slot not recognized at all! Wed, 18 Jun 2003

Just have installed RedHat9 on Toshiba DynaBook2140 Satellite K45/2SC8,
but the PC card slot not recognized at all!

Of course, I have referred to various Linux-related webpages and tested them,
but I am quite stuck!
Also, I have tried to switch BIOS Controller Mode to PCIC Compatible, to rewrite
PCIC in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to i82365, and others...
But still, I am really at a loss as to what to do.

Whenever I write cardctl ident, "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices" appears.

After much trial and error following a lot of tips from all, I did it!
The PC card is now working all right!
Thanks a million, everyone.

Simply, the port value was set wrong in /etc/pcmcia/config.optsimply, and
I seem to have taken it too seriously.

The following is the report on progress:

First, set the config.opts as follows:

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS="unreset_delay=300"
For the contents of config.opts

*For this, you can refer to:
http://www.a-yu.com/pub/qa50.html

Second, comment-out the following:
include port 0x100-0x4ff,port 0x1000-0x17ff

Next, add the following:
include port 0x100-0x4ff,port 0x800-0x8ff,port 0xc00-0xcff

As a result, A-OK without a hitch!
Gone are the days when I was struggling.

Again, Thanks to all for all of the kind replies to such a beginner's
question.

P.S.
It is in many ways a mystery: I followed the same routine also
when I was struggling, you know.
