After I insert | the card (and run pccardc power 0 1), 12 seconds pass - after which | the computer freezes up completely for about 40 seconds. Then, | pccardd produces its beep, and I can mount the card and read the files | off it without problems. Well, for the record, here is the solution, kindly provided by Greg Smith: + "Greg Smith" : | I think this is a known problem with the ata driver probing for both | master and slave when no slave is present. | | What version of FreeBSD are you running? Um, it was 4.1-RELEASE, and my apologies for forgetting to say so. | I think this was fixed recently, although I am not sure. My | 4.3-Stable handles my pcmcia ATA hard drive well; 4.1-Release had | the big delay you mention. And indeed, upgrading to 4.3-RELEASE fixed the problem. (I tore out some hair since my Linksys 10/100 ethernet card stopped working after the upgrade, but removing my home made config for it from /etc/pccard.conf, relying instead on /etc/defaults/pccard.conf, fixed that one. Actually, the symptoms were kind of funny; the ed driver attached fine, but it thought the card had a hardware address of aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa, and when I ifconfig'd it it spouted some bogus traffic on the network. I have no idea why, but now that it works, I don't particularly care. And I still have a bit of hair left, fortunately.) - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
