[ltp] pcmcia on thinkpad R40 2272-GCU, can't get it to work

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Hi,

> Thanks for the input.  I did try cardctl insert, no luck.  I did check out your post on sourceforge and you appear to be using an "ac" kernel which, after investigation patches pcmcia for the TI 1510.  The "vanilla" 2.4.21 that I have doesn't have this support.  I did also find that pcmcia-cs v 3.2.5 does support the chip so now I have 2 choices, use pcmcia-cs (v3.2.5, had tried my distro version, v3.2.2, no dice), or apply the "ac" patch to my kernel, an recompile.  I would assume that the same issue that you have reported will remain (at least for the kernel with "ac" patch), but that's another story...

you should use a 2.4.22 kernel, better the 2.4.22-ac4, it has better support for the ide chipset and fixes some other problems.
You may have a look into the changelog at http://www.kernel.org to see if there are any differences in the pcmcia code.


Bernd
