Current status: Previous experience with Acer notebooks indicates that they aren't always the easiest to work with. The last one I had my head inside had an Omega Micro PCIC. Omega are now owned by Trident, but there didn't appear to be any documentation available on the part in question. > Both the kernel and pccardd detect cards being inserted, > removed from both slots, with slightly different results (output at > end of this message). This looks promising. > We are unable to get the CIS data from our cards, and hence our > /etc/pccard.conf is ignored, regardless of it's correctness (?). Are you in a position to add/enable extra debugging in the pcic support code? > PC-Card Cirrus Logic PD672X (5 mem & 2 I/O windows) OK, so it looks something like a "normal" pcic. > # pccardc dumpcis > Configuration data for card in slot 0 > Tuple #1, code = 0xff (Terminator), length = 0 > 2 slots found It looks like there's nothing there; either the CIS reading technique isn't working, or the pcic in question isn't compatible. Is this system a mixed pcic/CardBus system?
