Re: PCMCIA support broken after installing X?!
Hello,
I have installed X today on my Compaq Presario. After a bit of struggling
I had it up and running, in conjunction with fvwm2. However, after
rebooting the pcmcia ethernet card is no longer detected properly.
Instead, this is what I find in my dmesg:
cs: warning: no high memory space available!
cs: unable to map card memory!
cs: unable to map card memory!
When I remove the card and re-insert it, I get:
cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.
cs: IO port probe 0x0100-0x04ff: excluding 0x200-0x207 0x378-0x37f
0x4d0-0x4d7
cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean.
eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr 00:C0:0C:03:32:7A
To be honest, I am baffled. Browsing my syslog I found some entries
earlier on the day, and they read:
Sep 16 17:07:41 laptop kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0x0cff: clean.
Sep 16 17:07:41 laptop kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0800-0x08ff: clean.

hw_addr 00:C0:0C:03:32:7A
This is how it used to be and it worked fine. After this it is borked. I
looked at `top' to check for memory consumption and this is what it reads:
23:05:39 up 19 min, 6 users, load average: 0.00, 0.02, 0.00
47 processes: 46 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states: 0.6% user, 0.6% system, 0.0% nice, 98.8% idle
Mem: 183972K total, 50864K used, 133108K free, 1360K buffers
Swap: 98244K total, 0K used, 98244K free, 22088K cached
Can anyone comment on this? It is reassuring to know that I can still use
the machine by removing and re-inserting the card, but I would prefer it
to be like it was before obviously.
Thank you so much in advance.
