Hi there,
I have just successfully installed 3.3-R with PAO onto my Thinkpad 600E.
My machine is successfully booting and detecting my 3C589D network card
through pccardd. However, I also have an Options International 56k
modem card which I'm trying to get running. I haven't been able to figure
out where pccardd takes its modem information from (not /etc/modems), and
currently, when I insert or remove the network card, things work fine.
However, when I insert the modem card in addition to the network card, I
get the following messages:
>Card inserted, slot 0
>Dec 13 16:25:52 rastafari pccardd[56]: Card "Option International "("
> GSM-Ready
>56K & GSM PC Card modem") [021] [A] has function ID 2
>card0: assign sio3 iobase 0x2f8 irq 7 flags 0x80
>sio3: Warning: IIR status error.
>Return IRQ=7
At which point the machine freezes, and I have to remove the battery to get
it to reboot. I'm already having trouble with the thing accepting any more
than 32MB of memory (already tried MAXMEM= option in my kernel config), and
am wondering whether the two are related, since in both cases it's an extreme
pain to even reset the machine.
Inserting the modem card by itself gives me:
>card1: assign sio3 iobase 0x2f8 irq 3 flags 0x80
>Return IRQ=3
>Slot 1, unfielded interrupt (0)
>Dec 13 16:38:02 rastafari /kernel: card1: assign sio3 iobase 0x2f8 irq 3
> flags 0
>Dec 13 16:38:02 rastafari pccardd[56]: driver allocation failed for (Device
> not configured)
I can subsequently successfully insert the network card. Note that the above
order will always apply, regardless of which card I insert in which pcmcia
slot.
If I then remove and re-insert the modem, I get
>Dec 13 16:44:09 rastafari pccardd[56] No free configuration for card Option
> International
But the machine will not crash.
Frankly, I'm stumped, and would be extremely grateful for any hints.
