Hello all Are you ready to read this very detailed and technical mail :-) ? 0== my laptop, the PCMCIA cards and linux system : Asus L5800DF Athlon64 socket 754 - modem PCMCIA Platinum Card MC227 v90 of ComOne (should work fine according to tuxmobil.org) - ethernet card Netgear FA411 (a 16 bits one) SuSE Linux 9.1 AMD64 with the kernel of the SuSE 9.2 AMD64, a 2.6.8-24-3 (the previous one : a 2.6.5-7-111 one) NB : the Netgear FA411 card, the Hayes modem card and the ComOne modem card work fine under WinXP on this Asus L5D laptop. No driver for the ComOne, a small driver for the Hayes card for WinXP (none for Win95 on a old laptop ...). I don't remember for the FA411. 1== what says linux during boot without PCMCIA card (dmesg) : Linux Kernel Card Services options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:01.0[A] -> GSI 9 (level, low) -> IRQ 9 Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:02:01.0 [1043:1854] Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0098, PCI irq 9 Socket status: 30000006 ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:01.1[B] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11 Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:02:01.1 [1043:1854] Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0098, PCI irq 11 Socket status: 30000006 2== details about cardbus with "lspci -vv" : 0000:02:01.0 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev ab) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 1854 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 168 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 9 Region 0: Memory at fd200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Bus: primary=02, secondary=03, subordinate=06, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: fba00000-fc5ff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: fc600000-fd1ff000 I/O window 0: 0000c000-0000c7ff I/O window 1: 0000c800-0000cfff BridgeCtl: Parity- SERR- ISA- VGA- MAbort- >Reset- 16bInt+ PostWrite+ 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 0000:02:01.1 CardBus bridge: Ricoh Co Ltd RL5c476 II (rev ab) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 1854 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- Latency: 168 Interrupt: pin B routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at fa200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Bus: primary=02, secondary=07, subordinate=0a, sec-latency=176 Memory window 0: f8a00000-f95ff000 (prefetchable) Memory window 1: f9600000-fa1ff000 I/O window 0: 0000b000-0000b7ff I/O window 1: 0000b800-0000bfff BridgeCtl: Parity- SERR- ISA- VGA- MAbort- >Reset- 16bInt+ PostWrite+ 16-bit legacy interface ports at 0001 3== the config.opts file in /etc/pcmcia (partial view before modifications) # ====== # This are the official ports to use from pcmcia-cs, but ... # include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff # ... ports 0x810-0x81f hurt on some DELL machines and ... # ... ports 0x3b0-0x3df hurt on some FSC machines. #include port 0x100-0x4ff #include port 0x800-0x8ff #include port 0xc00-0xcff #include port 0x3000-0x7fff # according to lspci -vv for Cardbus include port 0x0000-0x1000 include port 0xb000-0xcfff # include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff include memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff include memory 0xe0100000-0xe17fffff # according to lspci -vv for Cardbus include memory 0xf8a00000-0xfd1ff000 # # High port numbers do not always work... # include port 0x1000-0x17ff # Extra port range for IBM Token Ring #include port 0xa00-0xaff # Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available # First built-in serial port exclude irq 4 # Second built-in serial port #exclude irq 3 # First built-in parallel port exclude irq 7 # ======== --- 1st step : to find the right range for the memory : kernel 2.4.21-243 or kernel 2.6.8-24-3 If I write in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts this (instead of all the above data for memory) : # 2 ranges : include memory 0xf8a00000-0xfa1ff000 include memory 0xfba00000-0xfd1ff000 or : # 4 ranges : include memory 0xf8a00000-0xf95ff000 include memory 0xf9600000-0xfa1ff000 include memory 0xfba00000-0xfc5ff000 include memory 0xfc600000-0xfd1ff000 No card is recognized.

9.2 ftp install

Hello, Is there a 9.2 ftp install? I am trying to install onto a laptop (Intel), however if I use the /../9.2 directory from the ftp site the load fails, although the install works from the /../9.1 directory. What am I doing wrong? (By the way, is not for the AMD64 kernel, just a standard i386 install) Thank you in advance. ~James

hi all :) anyone had experience with the KV8 ? i loaded 9.2 and most of it works, but NOT the inet connex. someone said i need a linux driver for the mobo VIA ether chipset ? well i found that on the abit CD, and it said i should "compile" it into "suseconfig" - is that right ? (i dont know much about this) suse "help" doesnt even have the word "compile" in it ! what run command line could i use to load that driver ? tia.

Perharps you know .... ---- 2nd step : to find the right port address : kernel 2.4.21-243 or kernel 2.6.8-24-3 According to lspci -vv : [....] I/O window 0: 0000c000-0000c7ff I/O window 1: 0000c800-0000cfff [....] I/O window 0: 0000b000-0000b7ff I/O window 1: 0000b800-0000bfff If I write in the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts this : include port 0xb000-0xbfff include port 0xc000-0xcfff The cards are not available. I tried several address range before b000 : no succes. But, by adding this : include port 0xd000-0xffff ===> good !!!! But not completely good .... :-( ---- 3rd step : case of the FA411 card with the kernel 2.4.21-243 (the kernel I am using for this mail) - cardctl ident : Socket 0: product info: "NETGEAR", "FA411", "Fast Ethernet" manfid: 0x0149, 0x0411 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available - cardctl status : Socket 0: 5V 16-bit PC Card function 0: [ready] Socket 1: no card - cardcrl config : Socket 0: Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 0.0V Vpp2 0.0V interface type is "memory and I/O" function 0: config base 0x03c0 option 0x47 status 0x00 io 0xd000-0xd01f [auto] Socket 1: not configured - in the file config, the entry for the FA411 is : card "NetGear FA411 Fast Ethernet" version "NETGEAR", "FA411" bind "pcnet_cs" - lsmod gives : ds 9880 2 [pcnet_cs] yenta_socket 15520 2 pcmcia_core 57760 0 [pcnet_cs ds yenta_socket] - and ifconfig gives (after yast for IP configuration) : eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:F4:44:19:A2 inet addr:192.168.1.111 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::240:f4ff:fe44:19a2/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:2 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:288 (288.0 b) Base address:0xd000 ===> better than before :-) !!!!

strange display issues - 9.1 to 9.2

Hi, On 9.1 with AMD64 (emachines m6807 w/ati radeon 9600) I had a multihead display with the NON ATI driver. My original XFree86 file is below. I know I had to change "keyboard" to "kbd", but no matter what, I can't get DUAL heads again... :-( I thought XORG and XFREE were supposed to work pretty much the same? Has anyone gotten dual head/framebuffers to work on one of these beasts? thanks Kat # Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local"
