hello list...

unfortunately, i could not get pcmcia to work on an ASUS L5800DF with mobile athlon64. when i insert any pcmcia-card, i get:

cs: unable to map card memory

following the discussions at http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2004-July/001000.html, i modified config.opts (attached). i get the following output when i insert e.g. a network card:

I'm seeing the same on a HP zv5188ea. The HP and the Compaq presarios with AMD64 seem to be almost identical, and all have this problem. Your asus seems also to have the nforce3, so I guess you have the same problem: As a first step you might need to add a memory range to the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file. In my system it is: include port 0x3000-0x7fff, memory 0xe0100000-0xe17fffff but it could be different in yours. Do a ~# /sbin/lspci -s 0:a.0 -vv and check: I/O behind bridge: ??? <- port to include Memory behind bridge: ??? <- memory to include to verify the values needed. From your lspci I think you need to include I/O behind bridge: 0000b000-0000dfff Memory behind bridge: f8a00000-feafffff Details see. http://cmb.phys.cwru.edu/kisner/linux/compaq-r3000/ and http://www1.uop.edu/~khughes/presario-r3120us/ This step did make the error message dissappear in my hp, however it was not enough to get the drivers loaded. This seems to be a kernel issue. I compiled vanilla 2.6.8-rc2, and now the device (here /dev/ttyxx) gets assigned to the pcmcia card. 2.6.7 might help also. BUT - you might loose your touchpad. SuSE has apparently included all to have notebooks with synaptics / alps touchpads working, but if you use the vanilla kernel, you need to patch it yourself. I can't tell yet how to do it, I'm still stuck in the middle of it. One day SuSE will have a 2.6.7 kernel, and then both will work :-) HTH, Matt

also attached is the output of lspci -vv. the issue mentioned here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2944 does not seem to be relevant, because i did not try any cardbus-card for now.

i also tried a little bit with acpi_irq_balance + acpi_irq_isa which helped on other asus machines. acpi=off, pci=biosirq also do not seem to make any difference.

the latest pcmcia-cs 3.2.8 was also tried, but without success.

does anyone of you had similar experiences with suse 9.1 64-bit on laptops?

thanks for hints, sebastian
