Hi Harry-
It sounds like an irq problem to me or a conflict with 0x20
config index with one of the onboard com ports.
Based on some old emails, I see
sio0: <16550A-compatible COM port> at port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa0
sio0: type 16550A
which means your onboard pcic is running as com1 (sio0).
Again, again looking at old email, your pccardc dumpcis for the
modem contains:
Config index = 0x20(default)
Interface byte = 0x41 (I/O) +RDY/-BSY active
Vcc pwr:
Nominal operating supply voltage: 5 x 1V
Continuous supply current: 3.5 x 100mA
Power down supply current: 3.5 x 10mA
Card decodes 10 address lines, 8 Bit I/O only
I/O address # 1: block start = 0x3f8 block length = 0x8
==> 0x20 corresponds to COM1 which conflicts with your onboard controller,
hence, the driver allocation error. Looking further,
Config index = 0x21
Card decodes 10 address lines, 8 Bit I/O only
I/O address # 1: block start = 0x2f8 block length = 0x8
Just change the 0x20 to a 0x21 in /etc/pccard.conf, and as long as you
are using a free irq, you should be in business with on COM2 (sio1)
grep IO_COM /sys/isa/isareg.h
#define IO_COM4 0x2E8 /* COM4 i/o address */
#define IO_COM2 0x2F8 /* COM2 i/o address */
#define IO_COM3 0x3E8 /* COM3 i/o address */
#define IO_COM1 0x3F8 /* COM1 i/o address */
HTH,
S
