[tlinux-users-j:03529] PCMCIA not work correctly. Mon, 01 Mar 2004

Running Turbolinux10 Desktop on Dynabook E7/418CME with which
the PCMICA does not work correctly; the system freezes upon the
start-up. (PCMCIA is currently switched off.)

Since a PCMCIA socket (O2Micro-OZ6933) was found under Windows, I assume
the driver had not been accepted. Need to install the appropriate driver,
but I am still a newbie; please advise how to do it in detail as much as
possible.
Note: It worked with Vine Linux 2.6.3 without problems.

I had the same problem; the system freezed at PCMCIA upon the start-up with
"....using try "pic=biosirq".

Then, I fiddled around with PCMCIA configuration file by;
-trying "pci=biosirq" as advised; the message disappeared but the same symptom.
-confining "/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia" to "irq_list=10,11".
-commenting-out the beginning part of "/etc/pcmcia/config.opts" and answering
the query "improve?".
-exactly following the instructions written in "PCMCIA How To":
http://www.linux.or.jp/JF/JFdocs/PCMCIA-HOWTO-3.html#ss3.1
I, however, have had no luck at all and the symptom remains the same.

BTW, I have found the following item included in PCI terms in KDE system
information:
02:04.0 CardBas bridge: O2 Micro, Inc OZ6933 Cardbus Controller (rev 01)

Is this be of any help?

Some Toshiba machines accept "interrupt" operation through ACPI only.
How about adding "acpi=on" to the kernel option by:
writing "acpi=on" into "kernel (hdX,X)/boot/vmlinuz root=XXXX" line of
/boot/grub/grub.conf.

Note: "XX" indicates the machine's fixed value.

By trying this, I have successfully read the service!
Will try to insert various cards after this.
Thank you.
