Re: PC/104 PCMCIA configuration problem

Ralf,

Did you have the PCMCIA card plugged in when you did the linux install? I 
noticed that if I do a linux install with the card plugged in, it always 
works fine. If instead I do the linux install without the card plugged in, 
even though PCMCIA gets installed and is running, it causes me problems. 
I'm not sure why that is, but that has been my experience. I have tried 
several PC/104 PCMCIA cards, and all of them worked without any special 
configuration, as long as they were plugged in during the initial linux 
install. 

Each of the PCMCIA cards I have tried were i82365 compatible. Do you know 
if yours is? If you look at /proc/interrupts, do you see an interrupt that
is assigned to i82365? If look at /var/run/stab do you see anything about 
Socket1 and Socket2 (this will show the status of each PCMCIA slot, whether 
its empty or if a PCMCIA card is inserted). I'm also wondering which linux
distro you are using.
