[ltp] TP 770 PCMCIA Success.

[Frank Riha]

Ok, I have been having the same problem as some of the list members
regarding my TP770 and PCMCIA locking the darn thing up.

I went through the FAQ and did the 0x60000000 memory thing to no
avail.  Tried several combinations of interrupts and such.  Nothing.
This was quite a pain, as my root partition is large and each lockup
had me spending five minutes fsck'ing the partition.

What I discovered is that the PCMCIA driver was polling io ports 0x100 
thru 0x4ff, which I believe is the default.  Included in this range is 
my ide1 and ide3 controllers.  As soon as the driver would touch these 
ports the box would lock up.

I changed the "include port 0x100-0x4ff" to read "include port
0x300-0x35f" and tried again.  Works like a champ.

My config.opts in in a sorry state after so much trial and error, so I
will post it in case anything else in it is helping the situation.  I
am now actually going to do some work, so I will not be fine tuning it 
until I get some free time.  Until then, my ethernet card (Xircom CE3) 
and modem (Hayes) are working, and that's what I need.
