Based on the kernel messages given, I'm pretty sure you have to use pci=biosirq to get the interrupt routing to work so that we can probe and use any cardbus devices. OK, I tried that and got a kernel panic. I'll try it again and write down the exact kernel panic message (it probably belongs on the linux kernel mailinglist). The same PCI bridge-related issue with a Libretto L5/080 TNKW with an ACPI-compliant PCI bus and ALi M1533 PCI-to-ISA bridge. 16 and 32-bit cards can be inserted and show up with "cardctl status" but all drivers report IRQ 0 for the device. 32-bit ethernet cards even show up in the ifconfig list with the correct MAC-address but can not be configured with ifconfig. I have a libretto 100ct and I also get this problem. I've tried 7.2, 8.0 and 9.0 each displaying the same error. Since the pcmcia floppy that is the only floppy device with the libretto and doesn't work after booting, I've used autoboot for these three distributions. Please note that using pci=biosirq doesn't have any effect. (It didn't kernel panic for me) I don't get the problem when I use the pcmcia boot disk with 6.1 and 6.2. Both nfs install fine. I'm using a 3com 3cxfe575bt ethernet card. But I believe it's the pcmcia that's the issue. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
