Re: PCMCIA & AS200

[Arthur Shaffer <pp01138 ppp kcc edu>]

I just got this sorted out after a full weelk of work. I was trying to compile
in sound and PCMCIA for an AS200. I tried for kernels and 4 versions of PCMCIA
in various combinations. I ended up using 2.1.123 and the the Oct 24 beta
version of pcmcia (all betas are 3.0.6). If you go to the PCMCIA web site
(http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia ) you will find a mail list archive
of installation problems. There is a message list link ther
(http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/install.html) that has a
thread that is critical. It is No. 39
(http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/install/139.html)
You must make the three changes listed here. Once it is compiled, read the
whole HOWTO. My system would hang until I used the do_scan=0 option to prevent
the irq scan by the core system. It now works as advertised.

I could never get the system to compile against 2.034 or 2.035.
