I have a Compaq Armada 110 with 32bit cardbus support. I have tried to install usiing the 1.1 CD and am having issues with PCMCIA support. If I use the CD kernel to boot, the pcmcia-cs work perfeclty and I can continue the install. As soon as I compile a new kernel [either the included linux-2.4.19-r1 or updated gentoo-2.4.19-r1 sources] and reboot, using cardmgr locks the system hard. The only recovery method is a hard reset. I have tested three different 32bit cardbus NICS, all with the same result. I have also used 3 different 16bit cards, and they work perfectly. All three 32bit cards to work perfectly using the kernel and pcmcia-cs included on the install cd.
Have you tried the pcmcia-cs 3.1.31 ebuild? That may be what is on the CD.
I just tried the downgrade, and I had the exact same result.
Incidentally, I double checked the version of pcmcia-cs on the cd: insmod pcmcia_core Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.33 cardmgr -V cardmgr version 3.1.33 What release it is, I have no idea...
What is the status of this problem? Have the new pcmcia-cs versions cleared it up? What about the io address fix needed for some Dell laptops?
The card works with the new cs package, but I still cannot get the net.ethx scripts working. I have to manually add the IP and route commands...
okay, closing then. Feel free to drop me a mail about the other problem
