by Hi,
I am trying to use a Cardport 2xCD (from CNF Inc.) with Linux
2.0.35. This is a portable CD and has a PCMCIA IDE controller.
As far as I can tell, the PCMCIA cardmgr correctly identifies the
card. However, the *kernel's IDE driver* gets stuck. Here's from the
syslog:
Aug 6 18:22:59 polymorphic cardmgr[225]: initializing socket 1
Aug 6 18:22:59 polymorphic cardmgr[225]: socket 1: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk
Aug 6 18:22:59 polymorphic cardmgr[225]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.0.35/pcmcia/ide_cs.o'
Aug 6 18:23:04 polymorphic kernel: hdc: no response (status = 0xa0), resetting drive
Aug 6 18:23:04 polymorphic kernel: hdc: no response (status = 0xa0)
Aug 6 18:23:04 polymorphic kernel: hdd: no response (status = 0xb0), resetting drive
Aug 6 18:23:04 polymorphic kernel: hdd: no response (status = 0xb0)
Aug 6 18:23:04 polymorphic kernel: ide_cs: ide_register() at 0x360 & 0x36e, irq 5 failed
Aug 6 18:23:06 polymorphic cardmgr[225]: get dev info on socket 1 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
I am sure that there is no IRQ conflict. The I/O range seems unusual
for IDE controllers. At any rate, I don't think that the I/O range is
in use:
# cat /proc/ioports
0000-001f : dma1
0020-003f : pic1
0040-005f : timer
0060-006f : keyboard
0070-007f : rtc
0080-009f : dma page reg
00a0-00bf : pic2
00c0-00df : dma2
00f0-00ff : npu
01f0-01f7 : ide0
02f8-02ff : serial_cs
03c0-03df : vga+
03e0-03e1 : i82365
03f6-03f6 : ide0
03f8-03ff : serial(auto)
This CD-ROM works fine in W95. I would appreciate any suggestions! I
have not had any problems with the IDE driver and therefore I don't
know how to troubleshoot this.
Many thanks in advance,
