[gentoo-dev] pcmcia-cs ebuild

Hello,

I'm running Gentoo on a Sony Vaio Laptop with a 2.4.18 kernel (stock +
acpi patches) and no devFS. To make sure it wasn't related, i did the
same test under Gentoo's 2.4.19-r1 and devFS support.

I emerged the pcmcia-cs ebuild and it cannot see the flash card as a
disk drive. On the same laptop using Debian, as soon as i insert the
card, i can fdisk /dev/hde and it works, i can write data in and out.

Under Gentoo however, i cannot. It keeps saying : Unable to open
/dev/hde. Block devices are here though ...

Under /etc/modules.autoload, i have this : 
pcmcia_core
yenta_socket
ds
ide-cs

dmesg seems to return proper messages : 

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 02:05.0
PCI: Assigned IRQ 9 for device 02:05.1
Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000006
Yenta IRQ list 0cb8, PCI irq9
Socket status: 30000810

Now, starting the pcmcia service returns : 
 * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[5224]: watching 2 sockets
cardmgr[5224]: Card Services release does not
match                                    

And furthermore, cannot stop it anymore resulting in [!!].

The pcmcia-cs seems to be the issue, the version is :
pcmcia-cs-3.1.33-r3

What could i do to fix this ?
Steph

This line seems to imply that you have enabled pcmcia-support in the
kernel, but try to use the drivers that come with pcmcia-cs.

(the presence of yenta_socket confirms this).

If you want the pcmcia-cs drivers to be loaded and used, you will have to
disable pcmcia support in the kernel. They are mutually exclusive.

If pcmcia-cs detects that the kernel in /usr/src/linux has pcmcia
configured, it will not compile its kernel modules, only the user-space
utilities.

The big advantage of the pcmcia-cs modules is that they support more than
three pcmcia devices ;P

Hello,

If you disable pcmcia support in the kernel, you get this : 

no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
Make sure you have PCMCIA loaded, either as a module or built into the
kernel.

That is most likely because you forgot to:
1) reinstall pcmcia-cs so that its drivers are built
2) add pcmcia_core, i82365, ds to modules.autoload
3) either reboot or load the above drivers manually

Forgot to reply,

Thanks, that was the issue, rebuilt modules and hde is now there and i
can happily write stuff in and out the flash card.

Thanks

I can't seem to get timecop's cardinfo to build properly, so here's a
pcmcia-cs-3.1.27 ebuild with the regular (requires Xforms cardinfo).
Note that it doesn't depend on Xforms, but will build cardinfo if you
have it installed.  If someone wants to give me a hand with timecop's
cardinfo, email me (I'm not subscribed).  My ebuild seems to be fine,
but cardinfo.o won't link.
