Description Richard Hyde 2000-04-25 02:04:58 UTC

This SanDisk Compact Flash reader crashes the computer.  VIA based
ISA-to-PCMCIA adapter.  This card works well with Dell Laptop and Redhat
6.1.   Network PCMCIA cards work fine with this adapter.

hde: probing with STATUS (0xf0) instead of ALTSTATUS (0x50)
hde: no response (STATUS = 0xf0) resetting
hde: probing with STATUS (0xf1) instead of ALTSTATUS (0x51)
hde: no response (STATUS = 0xf1) resetting

then continues with the same sequence trying again with hdf and different
numbers before returning to hde.

Other IDE devices:  hard disk (hda), SuperDisk (hdc)
No other pccards.

Comment 1 Richard Hyde 2000-04-27 18:42:59 UTC

Correction:  It doesn't crash as I thought previously... it will resume to work
properly (the computer) if you eject the card and wait a few minutes.

Comment 2 Richard Hyde 2000-04-27 18:45:59 UTC

Same thing happens with 2.2.15pre19 + pcmcia-3.1.14.  If you configure with the
plug-n-play option the card(s) will simply report that there are no IRQs
available.  Compiling with it off shows the same behavior as the RH-dist
kernel.  Bug in pcmcia?

Comment 4 Alan Cox 2000-08-08 21:03:00 UTC

Ditto 3.1.18 in 6.9.5 with the Vaio has a long (60 second?) pause

Comment 5 Alan Cox 2000-08-22 16:15:11 UTC

I've verified with the IDE folks this is basically not fixable in 2.2
