the default values for pcmcia port and memory is for x86 machines, gentoo should atleast patch the ppc ebuild for ppc memory/ports like the howto notes: include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff instead of the default Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge pcmcia 2. cat /etc/pcmcia/config.opts 3.
Mutex, which laptop do you have? Some of the differant models have i/o controllers at differant addresses, so trying to collect the list for all the known ones that work.
I've got the TiPB 1ghz. The HOWTO didn't give me the impression there was different ones for different powerbooks... this is what the HOWTO says: 2.4.1. PowerBook specific settings On PowerPC based PowerBook systems, the default system resources in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts file are no good at all. Replace all the IO port and window definitions with something like: include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff but I wouldn't rule out other memory ports.
I only learned about it from Paulus when he was helping me get pcmcia working on my lombard box. So it looks like I need to start collecting io ranges for ppc to add to the install doc.
There are radically different sets of ranges for powerbooks, it may be a lot of collection to get a comprehensive list ... something i started long ago and never got anywhere on as no one was using pcmcia ;)
Status of this bug? What should we do?
I am having an identical issue. Fixing it was just adding the correct parameters to config.opts. PowerBook G4, 1.25GHZ Superdrive.
Created attachment 36325 [details] Ranges I've collected a bunch of ranges from google, hopefully this will help. I've also included the sites that these came from in case you need more information.
Included what we have so far.
