 |
|
Hi,
I've got a brand new, company issue HP nc4200 laptop. Everything works fine apart from the Cardbus slot, I've googled, searched the forums, and had a look through the gentoo-wiki, nothing I've tried helps.
Things i've tried.
1) As a comparison I have a Dell D600 running a preconfigured gentoo image which I originally copied onto the HP nc4200, the Dell/Gentoo combination works fine with the cards I'm trying (Cisco/Atheros/madwifi and Zyxel/Prism54/prism54)
2) Tried gentoo-sources 2.6.15-r1, r7 and 2.6.16
3) I have an internal mini-pci ipw220 that works perfectly, so wireless kernel-config shouldn't be a problem.
4) Compiling yenta as module or in-kernel, debug on
5) Running with/without pcmcia-cs (only needed for 16bit card support anyway)
6) Kernel boot option pci=routeirq
The symptoms are...
1) The PC-card controller is recognised. (module or internal, it doesn't matter)
On the HP
| Code: |
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:02:06.0 [103c:0938]
Yenta: Enabling burst memory read transactions
Yenta: Using INTVAL to route CSC interrupts to PCI
Yenta: Routing CardBus interrupts to PCI
Yenta TI: socket 0000:02:06.0, mfunc 0x01aa1b22, devctl 0x64
Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0cf8, PCI irq 18
Socket status: 30000820
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge I/O window: 0x3000 - 0x3fff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0xd0400000 - 0xd07fffff
pcmcia: parent PCI bridge Memory window: 0x20000000 - 0x21ffffff
usbcore: registered new driver usbfs
usbcore: registered new driver hub

2) kernel sees new card,
| Code: |
pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
|
On the HP
| Code: |
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Unknown device 068c:0013 (rev 01)
|
On the Dell
| Code: |
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications ... etc.
|
3) modules don't auto-load - I load them with modprobe (they autoload on the Dell)
On the HP
| Code: |
wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn 1473)
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn 1473)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1473)
|
On the Dell
| Code: |
wlan: 0.8.4.2 (svn 1473)
ath_hal: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
ath_hal: 0.9.16.16 (AR5210, AR5211, AR5212, RF5111, RF5112, RF2413, RF5413)
ath_rate_sample: 1.2 (svn 1473)
ath_pci: 0.9.4.5 (svn 1473)
PCI: Enabling device xxxxxxxx etc.
ACPI: PCI Interrupt xxxxxx etc. -> IRQ11
|
What I suspect
Apparently this is a "legacy-free" ACPI only laptop. Maybe the ACPI implementation on this laptop isn't quite up to spec.
Can anybody point me in the right direction? Let me know if you need more debug info.
thanks
