Hi. Installing 6.0 fails to detect my 3c589 PCMCIA ethernet card during install. It initializes the card, and the green light on the network connector turns green, but prints: insmod /tmp/pcmcia/lib/modules/preferred/3c589_cs.o RequestIRQ: Resource already in use get dev info on socket 1 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable. I've tried configuring the card services for both CardBus and PCIC, both of which failed. The laptop has the latest BIOS version. Thanks, Dave Wreski dave
We've seen this one before on some inhouse machines. The Tecra 780DVD seems to have a little difficulty parting with already-used interrupts. Make sure /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia PCIC_OPTS has "pci_csc=1", and that you are _not_ excluding IRQ 3 in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. Alternately, it is okay to define an irq_list in PCIC_OPTS. The reason seems to be that the revision of the PCMCIA chipset is slightly incompatible with earlier versions, and is thus slightly incompatible with pcmcia_cs. The 780 uses the ToPIC 97, but it seems to differ from the one in the 750. You're lucky, though: the Tecra 7000's PCMCIA doesn't work for me at all.
