Hi,

I have got a question. I recently installed redhat linux 7.2 on my laptop. But there is one little problem. When I load the pcmcia drivers. The yenta_socket picks IRQ 12, which is also use by my mouse. So when I used my mouse/touchepad while the pcmcia drivers are loaded my laptop hangs. But when I don't use my mouse everything works perfectly.....
I am wondering how I can get the yenta_socket to pick another IRQ...

Thanks,


Ray.

This will probably work... might take some tweaking:

cat /proc/interrupts

That will give you a list of all of the used IRQs. Pick one that isn't used. The syntax I just looked through the man page for and I'm not absolutely certain about. Probably, this will work: add the line to /etc/modules.conf:

options yenta_socket irq=x

Where x is a free one. Then restart pcmcia with:
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart", which will remove and reload all of the pcmcia modules, and then "cat /proc/interrupts" to see if its not on 11 anymore.

There's another way to tackle this from the ther end, giving the mouse a different IRQ, but I think this may be easier.

Cheers,
