Problem with PCMCIA with laptop (Suse 8.0)
Hi all! I've just finished installing Suse 8.0 on my laptop (inspiron 8200) and am having some problems with the pcmcia service. It freezes my cpu every time I boot. I've looked already through the search database and found out what was the cause but here's the confusing part: If I do: modprobe pcmcia_core modprobe yenta_socket modprobe ds Everything starts just fine and the pcmcia slots work fine. However, if I do, /etc/init.d/pcmcia start -> it freezes Here's my /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file (which I altered accordingly but it makes no difference): # # There are two PCMCIA Systems available: The external from D.Hinds, # which has proven to work flawlessly, and a newer one included in # the kernel source tree, which may be neccessary with some (new) # hardware. You can choose here which one you like to use. Set the # variable to "external" or "kernel". # If there is only one of these systems installed this varable will # be ignored. # PCMCIA_SYSTEM="kernel" # This variable lets you manually controls which socket driver will # be used for the choosen pcmcia system. Valid Values are "i82365" # or "tcic" for dhinds pcmcia or "yenta_socket", "i82365" or "tcic" # for kernel pcmcia. # If it is left empty, the start script will determine it or use a # reasonable default, so you don't have to set it in most cases. # PCMCIA_PCIC="yenta_socket" # # PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS - socket driver timing parameters here. These # parameters are described in "man i82365" (or "man tcic"). # e.g.: PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS="par1=val1 par2=val21,val22 par3=val3" # For more information, look for "PCIC_OPTS" in the PCMCIA-HOWTO. # You can find it under /usr/doc/packages/pcmcia. # These options will be ignored if you use kernel PCMCIA. (Exactly when # yenta_socket has been choosen) # # If PCMCIA locks your System, try the following option with a list # of free interrupts (and which won't be used later) and/or disable # the use of pci interrupts. # e.g. PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=3,4,5,7,9,10,11 pci_int=0" # PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS="probe_io=0" # # PCMCIA_CORE_OPTS - Put pcmcia_core options here. These options # are described in "man pcmcia_core" # For more information, look for "CORE_OPTS" in the PCMCIA-HOWTO. # You can find it under /usr/doc/packages/pcmcia. # These options are used both for external and kernel PCMCIA. # PCMCIA_CORE_OPTS="" Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Ico
