Seems ok in modern RH |
Hardware: IBM ThinkPad 770Z, IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PCMCIA adapter After upgrading from Red Hat 6.2 to 7.0, inserting the Token-Ring adapter fails with the following error message: ibmtr_cs: register_trdev() failed tr0: Unexpected interrupt from tr adapter I have verified that the ibmtr_cs line in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts has not been changed. I have rebuilt the kernel RPMs with PCMCIA 3.1.20 and the latest Token-Ring driver (http://www.ibmtr.net/download/ibmtr_cs-2.2.17-2.tgz), and it works once the ibmtr_cs line is completely commented out of /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. (BTW, the sard patch has a reference to the pcmcia-cs-3.1.19 directory "hardcoded" in it. To avoid this problem in the future, I suggest that the kernel build process be changed to rename $RPM_BUILD_DIR/linux/pcmcia-cs-%{pcmciaver}/ to $RPM_BUILD_DIR/linux/pcmcia-cs/. This would allow large patches such as the sard patch to be "independent" of the PCMCIA version.)
