Known problem. Red Hat 9 talks newer IDE protocol commands. This gives you good stuff like 200Gb hard disk support but speaking the new commands to some CF cards incorrectly results in the CF firmware crashing instead of it saying "Sorry speak something simpler". Arjan: There are some workarounds for this in the current 2.4.21-ac tree if we want to pull them in for a future errata Just to confirm, I have the same problem. My 16, 20, 32, 128 MB compactflash cards work fine in my pcmcia-to-cf adapter, but my 256 MB card fails (same kernel messages as posted). latest kernel rpm tested is 2.4.20-18.9 . 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/ |
Description of problem: Inserting a CompactFlash card in a PCMCIA adapter works fine on my hardware in RedHat 8.0. However, using the exact same hardware it fails in RedHat 9.0. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): True in both versions 2.4.20-6 and 2.4.20-9 of kernel How reproducible: Summary ------- CompactFlash PCMCIA card cannot be accessed in RedHat 9.0, very same hardware works under RedHat 8.0 and with a standard 2.4.20 kernel running RedHat 9. The Setup --------- The following two experiments were done on the very same hardware, once with RedHat 8.0 installed, once with RedHat 9.0 installed. With RedHat 8.0, the CompactFlash card is able to have its partition information accessed when inserted. With RedHat 9.0, the partition information cannot be read. Three other PCMCIA cards work fine under both operating systems: a wireless mini-PCI WiFi (contains a PCMCIA bridge), a 3Com network PCMCIA card, and an IBM Microdrive PCMCIA card. The problem also does not happen with a standard 2.4.20 kernel running RedHat 9.
