	Hi again,

	I've just realised that I e-mailed only Dominik about my
progress with 2.6.0-test3, but you all might be interested...
	Earlier details (HW, setup) :
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2003-August/000205.html

	After a bit of back and forth with David Hinds, we managed to
fix a bug in the ressource manager of the Pcmcia code. With the
16-Aug-03 version, it gave me the following error message :
----------------------------------------
cs: unable to map card memory!
----------------------------------------

	So, I went into the BIOS and reserved a memory area for ISA
cards, and it started working properly :

	That was 2.4.22-rc2 with the external Pcmcia package. Now,
I've moved over to 2.6.0-test3 with kernel Pcmcia code, which is my
real target. Even after the BIOS change, it still fails :

-----------------------------------------
	So, basically the BIOS change was not enough to make 2.6.X
work. Probably whatever ressource manager fix David did in his package
need to be ported over to the kernel code. I'm willing to try any
patch for this (I'm leaving in vacation on thursday).

	I've also tried a TI1225 (PCI-Pcmcia) on the same box with
2.6.X and it did hang the box. If one of you tell me how to enable
Pcmcia debug in 2.6.X, I could try to setup a serial console and get
more details.

	Have fun...
