RE: new kernel, new problems
Thanks. Got the cpu speed bit solved.
Looking through the PCMCIA HowTo I've checked to see
that /etc/pcmica/config, /etc/default/pcmcia and
/etc/init.d/pcmica are the same under both kernels.
My new kernel is missing the line
serial_cs 4384 0 (unused)
from lsmod.
Under the kernel 2.4.20-686 the output of
/proc/devices is
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty/m%d
3 pty/s%d
4 tts/%d
5 cua/%d
7 vcs
10 misc
13 input
14 sound
29 fb
128 ptm
136 pts/%d
162 raw
Block devices:
1 ramdisk
3 ide0
while under 2.4.19 it's
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 ttyp
4 ttyS
5 cua
7 vcs
10 misc
14 sound
29 fb
108 ppp
128 ptm
136 pts
162 raw
180 usb
203 cpu/cpuid
226 drm
254 pcmcia
Block devices:
2 fd
3 ide0
7 loop
43 nbd
There seem to be a whole bunch of devices missing in
the new kernel.
An attempt to start serial_cs with modprobe illicited
the response
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o:
insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o
failed
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o:
insmod serial_cs failed
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module
parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters.
You may find more information in syslog or the
output from dmesg
while insmod serial_cs gave me
Using
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o:
unresolved symbol register_pccard_driver_R583d4ed2
/lib/modules/2.4.20-686/kernel/drivers/char/pcmcia/serial_cs.o:
unresolved symbol unregister_pccard_driver_Rdb348cd2
So now I'm stumped. Where do I go from here to get the
pcmcia modem up and running?
