[SOLVED] FA411 problem

trewornan · 12-01-2003, 08:13 PM

I'm having terrible problems with this card on a Sony FX-101 laptop. It appears to be totally dead - no reaction to removal or replacement (not beeping or anything else). On bootup I get :

"No IRQ known for pin A of device 01:02.1 try PCI=biosirq
ds: no socket loaded!"

I read another thread and followed the instructions but they haven't solved the problem.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start - gives:

"Starting PCMCIA services: /lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/yenta_socket.o: init_module: No such device"

then some stuff about insmod errors being caused by incorrect parameters and a reference to syslog & dmesg (which don't contain anything about PCMCIA).

lsmod gives:

"pcmcia_core 57216 0" - which I assume is the crucial module?

cardctl ident gives:

"no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices"

I changed /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia so that it reads

"PCIC=i82365"

as suggested in the other thread but this doesn't help.

I'm getting extremely frustrated, can anybody help?

If you are still interested, I did a search and found this:

Code:

$ find -name yenta*
/lib/modules/4.4.190/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.ko
$ /sbin/modinfo yenta_socket
.........................
parm:           disable_clkrun:If PC card doesn't function properly, please try this option (TI and Ricoh bridges only) (bool)

Might be worth a try. Also if you boot with PCI=biosirq on the kernel command line as suggested, that might help.
