Trying to re-install gentoo on laptop (currently running gentoo). I can't get my 3com 10/100 pcmcia card (3cxfem656C) to load properly. There seems to be a problem with resources being allocated. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot off Gentoo LiveCD, default kernel (tried with 1.2, 1.4-r2, 1.4-r3, 1.4-r4) 2.(from install instructions):modprobe pcmcia_core 3.modprobe i82365 4.modprobe ds 5.cardmgr -f Actual Results: cardmgr[4339]: watching 2 sockets cs: could not allocate 512 IO ports for CardBus socket 0 Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000000-000001ff> 3c575_cb: RequestIO: Out of resource Expected Results: uh, properly allocated the resources while loading my driver, allowing me access to the bounty that is the www (or, at the very least, my local gateway) My computer works perfectly (I can still boot into gentoo on the hd); I know the nic is good. Have tried manually loading the driver I normally use, 3c59x, to no avail. I've also tried booting with gentoo kernel, dopcmcia option. The install detects a network device and attaches it. Doing 'net-setup eth0' and inputting my network params for the laptop yield the following (similar result doing it manually with ifconfig): eth0: Could not reserve IRQ 0 SIOSCIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable Type "ifconfig" to make sure the interface was configured correctly."
could you try the smp kernel please
Wow, that worked! Thanks
forwarding to latexer, smp kernel is vanilla pcmcia
Please test with the latest LiveCD an reopen this bug if the problem persists.
