I have a PreMax PE200 pcmcia ethernet card, which is
supported, but for some reason was not configured properly
during install. The error message during bootup, or when the
card is inserted is:

    "pcnet_cs: Request IO: No More Items".

I had RedHat 5.2 installed on the same machine, and the card
worked fine. I had upgraded to 5.9.7 using a CD image
downloaded off the net, and the upgrade evidently preserved
the configuration for the ethernet card, because the card
still worked. But, when I did a clean install of 6.0 using
an "official RedHat 6.0" CD, it won't install.

The system log under RedHat 5.2 shows:

There is a section in the pcmcia HowTo that talks about
resource starvation, and the need to set up the
pcmcia/config.opts file to exclude or include IO addresses,
but it doesn't say how to determine those parameters.

The support folkswould not provide any help for me on this,
and suggested I submit a bug report.

Problem Resolved! I just needeed to turn off Plug-and-Play support in
the BIOS. That freed up more resources so PCMCIA can assign an IO port
to the card.
