pcmcia woes
I'm trying to get a Sandisk compact flash pc card adapter to work on my
tibook. This is my first time dealing with PCMCIA, and so far it sucks.
After reading a lot of messages from debian-powerpc, debian-laptop, and
various Google results, I have the following setup:
- kernel 2.4.9-benh0, with PCMCIA drivers
- pcmcia-cs 3.1.28-2 (deb compiled from source)
- /etc/default/pcmcia has 'PCIC=yenta_socket'
- /etc/pcmcia/config with s/ide_cs/ide-cs/g
- /etc/pcmcia/config.opts has:
# tibook ioports and memory
include port 0x1000-0x10ff, port 0x1400-0x14ff
include memory 0x80400000-0x807ff000, memory 0xf3000000-0xf33ff000
(these numbers are from /sbin/lspci -v)
This is what happens:

Aug 21 00:13:51 spooky kernel: cs: unable to map card memory!

That memory probe doesn't seem all that useful...
I tried disabling the kernel PCMCIA drivers, and building pcmcia-source
using make-kpkg modules_image, but it started building SCSI and 1394
drivers and ran into errors.
Like I siad, this is my first time dealing with PCMCIA. Am I missing
something really obvious?
