From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.0 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: There seem to be several PCMCIA related bugs, but I couldn't find this one exactly, and this may be at the root of others. I have a Sony R505JE laptop. Pcmcia cards worked fine with RH 7.2 and 2.4.7 and 2.4.18 kernels. When upgrading to RH 9.0, I received the following message at boot: This message could be repeated at any time by doing a "modprobe yenta_socket". Naturally, this prevented other PCMCIA drivers for loading, so no cards would work (I primarily tested with an Orinoco wireless card). Since this had worked in the past, after much experimenting I tried building a vanilla 2.4.20 kernel, and lo and behold, it worked right. So, it appears to be something in the RH 2.4.20-8 kernel. Trying the newer builds of 2.4.20 from RPM did not fix the problem. Rebuilding from Redhat kernel source RPMs also did not fix the problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-8 and later builds. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Redhat 9 on a sony R505JE 2. Start PCMCIA services or modprobe yenta_socket 3. Try and use any card. Actual Results: Cards non-functional, /var/log/messages reports: kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt A of device 01:02.0. Expected Results: Card drivers should load, card should work :) Additional info: I would be happy to provide my kernel config files from the kernel I was able to build that fixed the problem, and I would be happy to volunteer to test new rpms or patches on my hardware, since sony has so many #$@! configurations.
Oops, I must have deleted the boot message; in the original description, the third paragraph should read: -------------------------------------- When upgrading to RH 9.0, I received the following message at boot: kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt A of device 01:02.0. -------------------------------------- Sorry, stupid user error :)
