Toshiba Tecra 8000, problems compiling kernel 2.6.1

apeekaboo · 01-28-2004, 11:47 AM

I'm trying to compile the latest 2.6.1 kernel on my Toshiba Tecra 8000.
I've got the graphics and usb are working, but my main problem now is that I can't seem to get the cardbays working.

I have enabled i82365 which was used in the 2.4 kernel but this doesn't seem to be enough.
In 2.4 the modules pcmcia_core, cb_enabler, ds and i82365 were used for the cardbays, but things seem to work differently in 2.6?
I have activated hot-plug which I _think_ is needed, but that didn't really make any difference.
I get no indication of the cardbays detecting my network pc-card when I insert it.
I'm not really sure of what else I can do to test if the cardbays actually are active...
Everything is working fine if I reboot with the 2.4 kernel.

Any tips on how to get the included alsa drivers to work would be great as well.
When I look in the output of dmesg it says that no cards where found.
I'm trying to load ad1848 as a module, which again worked fine in 2.4...

Anybody got any tips?

hey.
regarding the pc-cards: nothing has changed between 2.4 and 2.6 - use your old settings for it. what pc-card chipset are we talking bout here? which card is this?

regarding alsa: have you tried enabling OSS emulation?

here's my .config, if you want - i have both my pc-card and sound drivers up (alsa).

also, if u say u built them all in as modules, i hope ur moprobing them when u need to? and some network pc-cards might need to bring the interface up manually after inserting them.

Thanks for your replys.

Well, actually something has changed regarding pc-cards...
I've got the cardbays to work when using the yenta_socket module in favor of the i82365 module which worked in 2.4.
A nice treat is that I got my wireless 3Com OfficeConnect pc-card to work with driverloader, something I was unable to do in 2.4 (lspci showed nothing...).

However, my SMC-8053TX pc-card, which I use when bringing my laptop with me, still doesn't work.
I have tried all the modules for network pc-cards, even the xircom/tulip which I found hidden away in the PCI cards section...
The only module that seems to load correctly is com20020_cs but I still get 'SIOCSIFADDR: No such device' when trying to give the nic an IP-addresse with ifconfig.
lspci shows this information about the pc-card:
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Abocom Systems Inc: Unknown device ab08 (rev 11)
In 2.4 this pc-card worked with the tulip_cb module, but I haven't found it's replacement module in 2.6...

I still haven't got ALSA working, but this was a pain in the *ss with 2.4 as well.
I'm actually thinking of disabling ALSA in the kernel and installing it outside of the kernel instead.

hey - cant help much about the wireless card atm, but here's my kernel config for alsa on the 2.6
instead of the i810 that i have select the driver you got, and it should work, i guess.
