hi all,

The 2.6.* kernel doesn't seems to handle properly the I/O ports for
devices.

I bought a toshiba satellite a80-111 and with 2.4 series all devices
work good, with 2.6 series i get some errors:

- the 2.4 kernel uses ide-generic (with sata support) for use the
  hd, with 2.6 i need libata SATA support because i get this error 
  
  ide0: I/O resource 0x1F0-0x1F7 not free.
  ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe
  
- i have a 0000:06:04.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments Texas
  Instruments PCIxx21/ x515 Cardbus Controller

  i can get it work with the 2.4 series with no problem (yenta
  socket), the  2.6 series uses also yenta sockets but when i start
  pcmcia service (/ etc/ init.d/pcmcia start) the kernel freezes when it
  checks the i/o ports. 


mrspurr:/usr/src/linux# uname -a

thank you in advance
