Now, on every boot, whether | there is a card inserted or not, it says: | | mercury /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0 | mercury /kernel: pcic0: Static bug detected, ignoring hardware. | | And then, if I put a card in, it indeed ignores it. The cards | work fine under that other program loader and at least two of | them worked fine under 4.3-R. | | Is there anything at all I can try that might allow me to use | them under 4.4-R or do I really have to downgrade to 4.3 to get | things working again? I subsequently posted various dmesgs and panic messages in response to requests to additional information, but had absolutely no suggestions of things I could do to try to get this serious problem resolved. I have also tried the 4.5-RC3 ISO to verify that the problem has not been fixed. It behaved exactly the same as 4.4-R. | I have many reasons for not wanting to go back to 4.3, so that | would be very much a last resort for me. Since there appears to be no interest in working on this, I've now gone back to 4.3-R because I need an OS that allows me to use PCMCIA cards in my machine. Seems a shame. Anyway, that's the story, for the benefit of the archives. Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
