This model# isn't listed on tuxmobil.org ; write up something once
you've figured everything out.
PCMCIA =yes
PCIC = yenta_socket
Yep, that's what it should be.
tar -zxpvf pcmcia-cs-3.2.6.tar.gz
/Configure --force --extraver=2.4.20-8
You shouldn't have to compile pcmcia-cs. Even Redhat 9 included
pcmcia-cs; all you should have had to do was install it.
kernel source directory is: /usr/src/linux-2.4
build trusting versions: n
include 32-bit cardbus support: y
PnP BIOS resource checking: n
then in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ;
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
Wrong. That module was correct for a lot of PCMCIA chipsets in the 2.2
series, but 2.4 and 2.6 use yenta_socket. The "Intel PCIC Probe: not
found" error message should've clued you in.
PCI : no irq known for interrupt pin A of device .... Please try using
pci=biosirq.
So, where can I set "pci=biosirq"?
At the boot prompt. Edit your bootloader's config file and add that to
the append= (LILO) or the "kernel" line (GRUB), or edit the "kernel"
line from GRUB's menu and append "pci=biosirq" to that line. However,
you shouldn't have to do this. It's possible that the kernel is too old
to pick up on this machine's quirks, and you'd have an easier time if
you installed a distro that was more recent.
