[ltp] RedHat 6.2 on a ThinkPad 770

[Geert Janssen]

Dear Amuche,

I installed RH 6.0 on my own TP770Z and did the same on various other TPs
with RH6.2. For the X config check Bill Mair excellent web pages at 
www.linux-thinkpad.org. The IBM token ring card is the same one I have and
for sure is supported by the PCMCIA modules as long as they are new enough
(vintage RH6.2. should have the right PCMCIA support).
The IBM modem card is not suppported on Linux as far as I remember.
I had one myself and couldn't get to work. I also hate this XJack sticking out.

For the Token ring you might try the following in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts:

#
# Local PCMCIA Configuration File
#
# System resources available for PCMCIA devices
#
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
#Orig: include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff
#
# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
#
include port 0xa00-0xaff
#
exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff
#
# Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available
#
exclude irq 0
#
# First built-in serial port COM1
exclude irq 4
# Second built-in serial port COM2
#exclude irq 3
# First built-in parallel port LPT1
exclude irq 7
# Sound
exclude irq 5
#
# Options for loadable modules
#
# To fix sluggish network with IBM ethernet adapter...
#module "pcnet_cs" opts "irq_list=9 mem_speed=600"
#
# Options for Xircom Netwave driver...
#module "netwave_cs" opts "domain=0x100 scramble_key=0x0"
#
# Options for IBM 16/4 Token Ring Card...
# [Don't tinker with them anymore! GJ sramsize=32 hangs the machine]
module "ibmtr_cs" opts "irq_list=9 mmiobase=0xd2000 srambase=0xd4000 sramsize=16"
#
# Options for NetGear FA410TXC Fast Ethernet (NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 9, hw_addr 00:80:C8:8D:E1:55)
module "pcnet_cs" opts "irq_list=9"
#
# Options for Data/Fax Modem card:
module "serial_cs" opts "irq_list=3"

Good luck,

Geert
