Red Hat 6.2 works with no problem at all. Is this a somewhat older laptop ? Yes, it is. I was told that PCI/PCMCIA adapters are not supported by 2.4 kernel pcmcia drivers. Any chance it might get supported? Should there be a special kernel with old pcmcia-cs drivers to support older hardware? Well there is the chicken vs egg problem here. I already wrote a PCI->pcmcia driver for one chip, but the most common chip I don't have hw access for so can't actually write the driver ;( Any news here? According to pcmcia-cs documentation PCI to PCMCIA adapters will never be supported by kernel PCMCIA subsystem. Does this mean that these adapters are essentially dead and not worth supporting anymore? |
Description of Problem: lspci: 00:04.0 PCMCIA bridge: Cirrus Logic CL 6729 (rev fe) Flags: stepping, slow devsel I/O ports at fcfc [size=4] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-14 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot disks do not recognize PCMCIA, network install not possible. 2. install from CDROM, PCMCIA still not recognized. 3.
