Hi,
I've got a very strange problem which I haven't been able to solve for
a couple of months now.
Sorry, I can't provide configs and logs at the moment, my laptop is at
home. Will do this tonight.
But the problem is really weird, so I just thought I'm missing
something very obvious and somebody could suggest something straight
away.
There is no /dev/card devices in my CURRENT with NEWCARD. Obviously, I
get "Device not configured" with both pccardc and pccardd.
The devices appear fine if I compile OLDCARD (which doesn't work, BTW,
but that's another story :-)
The strange thing is, I can see cardbus and pcic* in kernel logs
during boot with NEWCARD.
I've looked through all freebsd-mobile. There was quite similar
problem, with another laptop make but same controller. But it was with
STABLE and the guy having the problem was suggested not to use NEWCARD
at all.
Google didn't help either.
Dell Inspiron 5000. Texas Instruments PCI-1225 CardBus controller.
For NEWCARD, I have in my kernel config:
# Pcmcia and cardbus bridge support
device pccbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge
device pccard
device cardbus
I hardly suspect the way I try new kernels, but I think it's worth
explaining it.
I'm running an April CURRENT, its OLDCARD wors just fine to me.
I've done make buildworld and make kernel for August, and am using
/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/pccard/ stuff with new kernels.
I checked /usr/src/etc/* but found nothing that required changes from
April.
I've seen a lot of discussion about MFC of cardbus code recently, but
I'm not sure they are relevant to CURRENT. Even then, I've seen no
pccard complaints from CURRENT users, so I'm wondering what's wrong
with me :-)
Warner, if my case is of interest to you, could you please tell me
what output you need to track down the problem. I know you've got
enough problems with STABLE now :-)
Regards,
Konstantin.
