Hall" Ccc: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Mime-version: 1.0 Date: Thu, 16 Aug 2001 14:04 -0700 X-mailer: Mailer from Hell v1.0 Message-Id: <20010816210338Z267883-760+2564@vger.kernel.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I have been unable to get my laptop to work with a PCMCIA IDE adapter. Actually I've tried two, an EZ-GIG and another one that I had from a couple years back. The overall effect is: Aug 15 17:33:27 parrotnoid cardmgr[506]: initializing socket 0 Aug 15 17:33:27 parrotnoid cardmgr[506]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk Aug 15 17:33:27 parrotnoid cardmgr[506]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs' Aug 15 17:33:28 parrotnoid cardmgr[506]: get devinfo on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable What does the "resource temporarily unavailable" message mean? Is this a race condition? Sometimes there is an additional line from cs about the memory mapping, but that's all. I never see any hd(x) messages from the kernel. I have more comments in my posting to the sourceforge PCMCIA forum: http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=33430 Basically I can see the card okay but the ide driver seems unable to cope with it. Machine is a FIVA MPC-206e. Kernel is 2.4.8. Using kernel PCMCIA and up-to-date Card Services. -joseph -- Joseph N. Hall Author, Effective Perl Programming
