Complete dmesg log

I get the same problem with my 3c575 10/100 pcmcia card. As it is also
reported in the release notes of Fischer...2.4.x is not ready for pcmcia
stuff yet. I turned it completely off in the kernel, compiled pcmcia-cs
package and installled all the modules (if kernel has pcmcia on certain
modules in pcmcia-cs package that correspond to the kernel ones are not
compiled. So you need to compile kernel first without pcmcia and read
configuration from source tree when compiling pcmcia-cs package). After
this make sure that /etc/pcmcia/config file corresponds to the one that
does not use the kernel pcmcia e.g. your card should default to the driver
in the pcmcia-cs package (look at the config file in pcmcia-cs-1.3.24/etc
directory). Also /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia should have;

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=-f

Does "Additional PCMCIA" mean the pcmcia-cs package + the drivers in that
package ?

We (Red Hat) should really try hard to fix this before next release.

Could you please attach the output "lspci -v" ?
Your dmesg suggests this might be an interaction with the PCI subsystem.

Here is the lspci -v output, as requested. I've also attached another
dmesg output, from the same boot.

2nd try to upload attachments promised.

2nd copy of dmesg

Please try the most recent rawhide kernel, this contains a critical bugfix
for cardbus.

I tried to install the newest kernel from Rawhide, but am running into 
dependency problems I would have liked to know about ahead of time. As the 
ethernet card is not working, I am using Windows98 to transfer the required 
files to hard disk.
The kernel depends on modutils and kudzu. modutils installs as an upgrade, but 
kudzu needs pam, Xconfigurator and mouseconfig.
I plan to obtain these from Rawhide, and post results later.
Attachment sess1.txt, an abbreviated script output file, shows my results so 
far.

You should be able to install the kernel with --nodeps

dmesg log with Rawhide kernel 2.4.2-0.1.25

I have updated the kernel from Rawhide. I powered down, then started my
machine with the PCMCIA in the upper slot. Significant dmesg output is in
dmesg_top_power_13.txt; highlights are shown below.

The "timed out" message appears when I insert the card, with an address
depending which slot I try.

Ehm. Does "lsmod" show that yenta_socket is loaded, or does it show i82365 ?

Sample of dmesg log working with PCMCIA

I think I've resolved the bug. I updated with the following rpm's from Rawhide:

kernel-2.4.2-0.1.25.i686.rpm
kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-1.i386.rpm
kudzu-0.97.6-1.i386.rpm
modutils-2.4.2-5.i386.rpm
mouseconfig-4.18-1.i386.rpm
pam-0.74-17.i386.rpm

because they were mentioned when I first tried to install the updated kernel. In 
general, I used "rpm -iUv --nodeps". I don't know if all the above rpm's are in 
fact necessary.

Now, the system boots, and the card works in the upper slot; I was able to run a 
 brief ncftp session.

For illustration, attached file dmesg_ok.txt shows the dmesg log I have. Below 
is the diff from dmesg_top_power_13.txt, the previous attempt.

I'm willing to consider the bug resolved, but I'll let RedHat staff do that, 
possibly after a review. Thanks, RedHat for the help.

I think I know that the problem was. The old version of your pcmcia init scripts
tried to load the i82365.o module, which used to be for all PCMCIA slots. But
with 2.4 kernels i82365.o is only for "old style" (ISA-bus like) PCMCIA slots.
Your laptop has "new style" cardbus slots (which are PCI-bus like) and the 2.4
kernel uses the module "yenta_socket" for that. 

Older pcmcia-cs RPMS apparently didn't upgrade this for you (I've had one more
of such report but that was a totally different laptop) but newer ones do.

Thank you for helping us test; I'll close this bug as "fixed" now.
