problem with PCMCIA and kernel 2.4.x

problem with PCMCIA and kernel 2.4.x

[benjilr]

I've a problem Because when the PCMCIA start, I've the message :
PCI : NO IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 01:02.0 please try
using pci=bios, but when this parametre, IRQ is always unknow.

But when kernel Start, I've this message : 
PCI : Probing PCI hardware
Unknow bridge ressource 2: assuming transparent
PCI : Using IRQ router PIIX [8086/244c] at 00:1f.0

Thank in advance for help.

PS:I've a laptop sony PCG-FX203
   PCMCIA work with kernel 2.2.19, but with this kernel there's no
usb-storage (for usb zip) support

i have the same effect with a sony PCG-FX209, kernel 2.4.8 and 
pcmcia 3.1.22. what is even stranger is that i have to invoke modprobe 
yenta_socket without any options first, or else the pci=biosirq option 
will not be recognized. so the startscript in /etc/init.d/pcmcia reads:

modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe yenta_socket
modprobe yenta_socket pci=biosirq
