I QUIT...... after a week of posts and suggestions, ive had TO GO BACK TO 2.2.8-PAO, after being defeated by a 3.1 install. Ive wiped the whole disk and started completely over with a fresh 2.2.8-PAO, and gotten back on the network also, Ive taken the cdrom completely out of the machine since it doesnt work under 2.2.8 and i am now using it as a paper weight to remind me of the fact that ive been beaten by a machine. Ive tried it all... even a clean 2.2.8-PAO install, downloading of the 3.1 release, a local upgrade to 3.1 and cvsupping the PAO3 tree..... not even that worked.... I give UP..... I have been beaten.... :( looks like this CTX laptop will remain 2.2.8-PAO until its death..... with no cdrom... ! Thanks to all that tried to help and gave me many suggestions...... i think somehow it is resource allocation by pccardd and the pccard.conf file that finalized the demise of 3.1.... Bruised and Beaten by a computer no less......

Both of which would be nice to have a driver for. I believe that my Xircom driver should work with your Intel card (it seems this card is really a Xircom CE3 in an Intel box). You can download the driver from http://www.dcs.qmw.ac.uk/~scott/xe_drv/ If you do try it out, please send a message to the developers' mailing list letting us know whether it works or not. Maybe you and Alan can join forces to work on the 3Com driver?

If I invoke pccardc with the option "pccardmem 0xd0000" I get the error message: "Device card0 not configured". I'm running FBSD 3.1R. I first tried to remove the kldload command in rc.pccard, and enabled kernel support for device card0 + the pcic entries. As this didn't work I disabled the pcic entries in kernelconfig and reactivated the kldload command in rc.pccard. The same error as above. Then I read in the archive that some people had to add a card1 device + more pcic entries in the kernel config file, but even this didn't work for my configuration. Did anybody solve this problem? My /dev/card0 is there and i even deleted and remade it several times. I've even added card1, card2, card3 and card4 device. If I do a "pccardc dumpics" I get: "0 devices configured". At boottime I see a message that pccard-device "ed" has been added. Can anyone help?

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have been following the thread re:CTX and pcic and have a slightly= different variation on the theme... I have a CTX 700E, dmesg is below. I was until recently running 2.2.8-PAO= with great results. But, the 3.1 CDs came in the mail and I got the= "upgrade urge" :). Since then, I have had no luck making my PCMCIA= services work. I have a Accton modem and a Linksys EC2T Combo card in the= slots. I cannot get either of them to function. I have given up on the= linksys card for now, that can work later in the future. What I really am= trying to make work is the modem, as it is my connection to the outside= world! I have tried countless configuration combinations, all with the same result:= when I use ppp or cu to query the modem and dial out, the machine hangs,= requiring a power-cycle to get it running again. =20 Here are the things I have tried so far: 1) Kernel configured card0 and pcic0/1. No luck. 2) kldload'ing pcic. Does not load the module. 3) Put card0 back into the config file, and kldload pcic. Loads, but does= not work. 4) Enabling both kernel configured and kldload'ing the module. No luck. I am trying to use sio2, which does not exist in the machine physically, but= is configured in the kernel (see dmesg). bc gives me the following IRQ= binary: 1000111010001000 Which I read as IRQs 15, 11, 10, 9, 7, and 3 being available. pcic takes 3= every time, even if I set a new one in loader.rc. I manually hacked pcic.c= to specific interrupts (at line 735), and it uses that interrupt, but still= hangs the machine. I set it back to the default code to keep me out of= trouble. A side note, as of right now, pccardd will not initialize the modem card. I= have to use: pccardc enabler 1 sio2 -i 9 -a 3e8 as an example. I get the kernel message sio2:16650 UART. pcic will detect= the insertion/removal of cards (as shown at the end of dmesg). I have tried re-making the cuaa2 device after enabling it, in case that had= anything to do with it. I am really getting ready to drive a stake thru this machine... I also do= not want to have to retrograde back to 2.2.8-PAO (I don't have the 2.2.8= CDs, so it means a download over an ISP that charges by the hour). If= anyone has any suggestions/hints/smart remarks, go ahead and shoot! dmesg and dumpcis info below... this is with card0 enabled in the kernel,= and kldload'ing pcic, but before I tried to enable the card with pccardd or= pccardc enabler.

It recognizes the insertion of the card ("Card Inserted, Slot 1" or similar) and then reports "sio2: 16550 UART", but none of the pccardd info comes up (i.e. "Accton PCMCIA Modem Inserted") It also recognizes the removal, and even frees IRQ 11. When I re-insert the card, it first says sio2: Unfielded Interrupt (0) But then sio2: 16550 UART. It's all a moot point anyway because as soon as I issue the following commands, the machine locks cold: laptop#ppp [snip] ppp>set device /dev/cuaa2 ppp>set speed 57600 ppp>term I strait copied the files from the tarball into the appropriate directories (/etc/rc.conf, /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PLUTO, and /etc/pccard.conf) I kept all the files exactly how they were, with minor changes (hostname, IP addr, gateway, and disable softupdates in the kernel). I have the same ethernet card, so that pccard.conf entry I left alone, and added the entry for my modem out of pccard.conf.sample. I compared the dmesg you sent me with the dmesg I have... there are only a few diffs, all minor relating to the 4 GB hd I have vice the 2 GB in yours, and the 266MHz cpu vice 233Mhz. All the relevent dmesg output is *exactly the same*. I am beginning to think that it is not the kernel. The things I am thinking of are: 1) I am running 3.1-RELEASE. You are on -STABLE. Maybe there has been a change to the pcic code since -RELEASE? How could I check that? How can I run cvsup if I cannot get on to the net? 2) You have a BIOS setting changed somewhere that I do not. I am including my complete BIOS setup below. I got the latest BIOS flash from CTX earlier. 3) Maybe CTX changed the design of the machine itself between the time you got your machine, and I got mine? 4) That my office is full of bad vibes interfering with pcic? (One of my friends is a Wicca, he said he will cast a spell on it to see if that helps :) ) I really appreciate you sending me the info.... I am so close I can almost taste it. I tried the Linksys card for shits and giggles, didn't work, but didn't lock the machine either. Take a look at the BIOS settings below and see if they hash with yours.... thanks again!

UPDATE Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Well, after tinkering around with my system, and looking at all the files provided by (the rather generous and helpful) Chris Faulhaber... I got my Linksys EC2T Ethernet Card to work!!! Unfortunately, this is not my connection to the internet. *So*, I am still in search of making the modem work. I have a couple insights to share with other CTX owners: 1) My BIOS, SystemSoft for Intel 430TX Version 1.01 SubVersion 1.23.09 is the latest version, which is a Good Thing. But, even if you disable all the bells and whistles (PS/2 mouse port, serial port, parallel port, IR, etc.) in the system setup (ctrl-alt-s) it still enables them. This is an Evil Thing. I think this may be part of my problem. I am about to go tinker with my pccard.conf files, using the dumpcis output, to get me a port/irq combo that is free. It's a pain in the ass that fsck takes about 10-15 minutes to unscrew all my filesystems after the system hangs from trying to use cuaa2. 2) The CD-ROM is working great, which was partially broken under 2.2.8. 3) You cannot use Win98 and then warm boot into 3.1. The APM code barfs all over the place and then panics. Cold boot will work fine. Maybe some more Microsoft "standards" are at work. 4) You also have to power-cycle after using the BIOS setup program, if you don't the kernel lasts about 5 seconds before it crashes... I forget the exact error..."trap 12" or something along those lines. Anyway, just remember to power-cycle after using the BIOS setup and you will be fine. Anyway, wanted to get all that out so it will archive into the list....

I then rebuilt the kernel to enable the PCMCIA slots (pcic0, card0, card1). I also made sure that what I had in /etc/pccard.conf matched what was in the kernel, and matched what was in the CIS of the cards. I'm using two cards, a Cirrus Logic modem (slot 0), and an Accton 2216 Ethernet card (slot 1). Now all this worked on 2.2.5-3.0. But on this release, I get the following on boot: PC-Card Intel 82365 (5 mem & 2 I/O windows) pcic: controller irq 3 Initializing PC-card drivers: ed Card inserted, slot 0 Card inserted, slot 1 PC-Card Intel 82365 (5 mem & 2 I/0 windows) pcic: controller irq 9 Card inserted, slot 2 Card inserted, slot 3 What's even more interesting is that one of the times I ejected the card, and inserted it again, it identified it as slot 4. Now I see three problems here: 1) Two pcic's are being initialized when there's only supposed to be one. 2) pccardd tries to use card2, card3, (and card4) to initialize the drivers. 3) Only the ed driver is being initialized. sio is not initialized like it was on 3.0. The result is that only ed0 is being found (Accton card). The sio3 card doesn't show up and the driver allocation failed. My /etc/pccard.conf for the modem: # NewMedia 14.4K FAX/Data Modem card "CIRRUS LOGIC" "FAX MODEM" config 0x23 "sio3" 9 insert echo Newmedia 14.4 Modem inserted remove echo Newmedia 14.4 Modem removed In CIS for the modem, index 0x23 uses 0x2e8. The kernel is set up to use irq 9 and address COM4. I looked in /usr/src/sys/pccard/pccard.c to find how drivers are initialized to see if there was a new config file that identified the PC-card drivers. I didn't find one. (I'm not a C programmer, so I did the best I could.) Is anyone else having these problems (1-3 above)? How can I fix it? (I'm planning on switching back to 3.0 if I can't work it out. I can make it work there!) Thanks, Patrick --- Patrick S.

If you don't get any : answers from the mailing lists, you should enter a PR. man send-pr : for further details. I'm not sure about the Dell's, but I know that for the StinkPads you need set the MAXMEM to 1M less than the installed memory if you have over 64M of memory. Some people I've talked to think it's due to a problem with memory probing when mem > 64M. Others think that the IBM bios are doing some funky stuff with that one meg and to just leave it be. So, for example, I've got a StinkPad 600E with 128M of memory. This is what I have in my config file for it: options "MAXMEM=(127*1024)" Let me know how this works out. --Jerry 8) Jerry Alexandratos % - % "Nothing inhabits my (8 8) alexandr@louie.udel.edu % - % thoughts, and oblivion (8 8) darkstar@strauss.udel.edu % - % drives my desires."

I have highlighted the problem areas and or areas of interest. 1) A net installation just does not work. I had to wait until the optional (grrr) cdrom drive arrived. Pccard controller = TI PCI 1225 zp0 fails miserably (even if I set IRQ to 11 ... what Win95 attaches 3C589D on) I was unable to get pccardc to work with the install (tried to use a customize 3.1-Stable kernel and pcic and mfsroot to no avail ... addes pcic and ls and ps to mfsroot :) 2) Set machdep.pccard.pcic_irq=10 (Win95 has it on 10) does nothing. it will _always_ use 3 :( Doesn't matter whether it is loading the pcic.ko or using compiled in. Although, if you let it double load the pcic, the kld comes in at irq 9. Of course, attempting to unload it panics the machine: As we know, rc.pccard is bogus: I added a Q&D test builtin=`kldstat -v -n 1 | grep pcic | awk '{print $2}'` if [ $builtin = 'pcic' ] then echo "builtin" else kldload pcic.ko fi dmesg: PC-Card VLSI 82C146 (5 mem & 2 I/O windows ) pcic: controller irq 3 3) APM: Using flags 0x31 (though doesn't make any difference), typing apm will panic the machine instantly! Although, the manual stand-by and suspend to disk work just fine. As does bios initated events, but apm or zzz will crash the box. (I imagine that xbatt will too). 4) Sound card: device pcm0 at isa? tty irq 5 drq 1 flags 0x10 dmesg: ... try to indentify the yamaha pcm0 at 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0xa210 on isa mss_attach 0 at 0x530 irq 5 dam 1:0 flags 0xa210 yields decent volume (much better than flags 0x0). 5) Video: 256-bit NeoMagic MagicGraph NM2200 (NMG5) XFree86 SVGA seems to do an OK job (haven't tested this too much) 6) Booteasy: (Caveat ... I may have screwed something up here) Just locks the machine up solid. I hangs at the F1, F2 ... menu and beeps ... sigh ( I used fdisk /mbr to set FreeBSD as active ... no problem reinstalling).

I set = the pccard.conf settings for my accton modem to the exact same settings as th= e Xircom, but it still hangs the machine. Needless to say, I will be buyin= g a Xircom modem when my friend wants his back. How did I get his modem in the first place, you ask?

Many thanks to all people who answered to my posting. Following Steve's suggestions I noticed carefully the amount of memory tested by the BIOS. In my case this is 130496 kB which is smaller than the physical memory size by the same amount Steve reports (576 kB). After putting MAXMEM=130496 into the kernel configuration file the problem did not show up again (Jerry's solution of subtracting 1 MB should therefore also work as well as my solution of leaving out 32 MB). I think that such a difference between the physical size of memory and the really available size is not uncommon. I would think that this is caused by the fact that some parts of the address space are mapped to ROM and devices thereby hiding some parts of the RAM. What is really wrong is that (without a MAXMEM statement) the size of the usable RAM is not correctly determined by FreeBSD. Since this obviously works on other machines (also hiding a part of the RAM) I would think of a BIOS flaw.

I've tried a number of different configuration files which I have found on the web, but the results are the same for all. Under 1024x768x8, it looks like something spilled light on one corner of the screen and it flows across the full screen. (Quite a striking effect, but not the XDM login screen I am used to. :) ) Under 800x600x8 and 640x480x8, strips of the screen are mixed up. Has anyone solved similar problems or even have a working XF86Config file for this configuration? I believe that this was discussed quite recently on this list, so apologize for bringing it up again, but the previous discussion apparently is not yet archived. If so, feel free to simply e-mail me directly, rather than cluttering this list with duplicated replies. Thanks!

Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.93.2i Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi all, If you've been following -mobile lately, you may have noted that, in true Soviet style, an electorate of one (Jordan) has elected the sole candidate (me) to the sought-after post of 'point guy' for the PCCARD support effort...if someone else wants the job, speak up now (please) :) Seriously though, it looks as though no-one else out there is dumb enough to take this on, so here I am. As I said earlier, I can't devote much time to this for the next couple of months, but I figure it will take that long to get things rolling anyway. One thing I will state for the record is that I'm *not* out to tread on anyone's toes or impose some grand all-encompassing vision on the project. If you're already working on something PCCARD-related, way cool, just let us know what you're doing; chances are someone else can offer some help. I see my role in this as providing a focal point for all the individual work that is already going on, and co-ordination for the too-much-for-one-person things that need doing. Oh, and I'd like to write some code too... So what are we aiming to achieve? In approximate order of difficulty, it seems to me that what we need to work on is: - New drivers, for PCCARD controllers and cards. These may be home-grown, brought in from PAO, ported from Linux, whatever. There seems to be a lot of this going on already, where people have cards that don't work and are hacking up drivers for them. - Reworking the support for a whole bunch of purely PCCARD issues. The ones that spring to mind (in that they've bugged me lately) are: - Multifunction card support - CardBus support - Improved userland utilities (pccardd/pccardc) - Kernel support for e.g. reading the CIS of a card - Graceful recovery from unexpected card removal etc, etc. I'm sure there's a lot more. I hope that a lot of this can be worked on with needing to rewite the _whole_ PCCARD support framework, although my list already seems to be picking on a goodly chunk of it... - Fitting PCMCIA/CardBus into the 'new bus' and 'dynamic device' support that is apparently somewhere in the pipeline. I expect this _will_ involve a rewrite of most of the support code and drivers :( For now I guess we should be tracking what's going on in that area, and making appropriate suggestions to ease the pain of transition when the time comes. So there you go. Anyone with any interest in working on any part of this, please drop me an email (some of you I've heard from already, you're on the Cc: list of this message). I'd particularly like to hear from the 'new bus' folks (Garrett? Doug? -- hope I tagged the right people there) as to what the current state of this is and which bits of the source we should be grokking. Help at any level is much appreciated -- from kernel hackers to those who juat don't mind having to reinstall when some evil sub-alpha code trashes their disks. Various people on the list have recommended books -- any other suggestions? I'm going to obtain some of these RSN, but I obviously can't afford to buy them all! [Mike: is the offer of assistance in obtaining the official standard still open? What do we need to do?]. I personally don't feel confident taking on anything more fundamental than drivers for specific cards until I've read some of this stuff. Pointers to freely-available controller & card docs from manufacturers would also be welcomed. The UK FreeBSD users group is supporting this effort with web space and other 'net resources -- I'll let you all know the URL once I get the account set up. Note: everyone reading this in the UK should join this group; if nothing else, it's great value for money ;-) OK, enough waffle from me. This thing is only going to go anywhere if other people get behind it, so please get in touch, tell me what you're doing, tell me I'm full of BS, tell me what direction *you* think this project should be taking. I'm the point man, so I have to expect to get shot at sometimes...

Well guess what... On this notorious CTX EzBook 800 ive been pounding on trying to get 3.1 installed onto, since it runs great with the 2.2.8-PAO and the Netgear FA410TX pcmcia card, but refuses to under 3.1, i was curious.... so i tried to install Linux on it... and well guess what... it DOESNT WORK EITHER on this system with this particular card... Yet linux pcmcia supported hardware claims it does.... now thats odd.... :) it seems the only OS's that will run this thing right now with working pcmcia support for the Netgear FA410TX pcmcia card are FreeBSD 2.2.8-PAO and of course winblows 98.

You cannot use zp0 w/ pccardd. You need to ep0 and have it built into the kernel. You also need to make sure that nothing else is running on irq 10 (or whatever you set it to in the kernel). Also probaby need to remove the ifconfig_zp0 entry and replace it with a pccard_ifconfig entry and make sure that /etc/pccard.conf exists and has an entry for your card. As a second point, are you running 2.2x or 3.1 or 4.x ? If you are running either 3 or 4 and have the pcic support built into the kernel, you will want to change /etc/rc.pccard to prevent the pcic support from being loaded twice: #!/bin/sh - # # PC-card startup script # HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi # # $Id: rc.pccard,v 1.6.2.2 1999/03/17 17:41:35 nate Exp $ # if [ "X$pccard_enable" = X"YES" ] ; then builtin=`kldstat -v -i 1 | grep pcic | awk '{print $2}'` if [ "$builtin" = "pcic" ] ; then echo "PCIC module compiled in" else if kldload pcic; then echo "Kernel pcic module loaded." fi fi if [ "x$pccard_mem" != "xDEFAULT" ] ; then pccardc pccardmem $pccard_mem else pccardc pccardmem 0xd0000 fi echo -n "Enable PC-card." pccardd 2>&1 > /var/log/pccardd.debug & fi Also, make sure that /etc/pccardd.conf has sensible entries for avaialble irq's.

So which driver are you trying to attach it to? It would help a lot if you could post: - the relevant sections of your /etc/pccard.conf - the output of 'pccardc dumpcis' for the offending card - kernel boot messages The error you're getting is probably caused either by a resource clash or just that pccardd can't match your card with an appropriate driver...hard to tell which without some more info.

It's a really nice, super slim, three pound laptop with 1024x768 on the active matrix display. A friend ordered one that had some bad pixels, and while waiting for the replacement, we tried various OS installs. We copied FreeBSD 2.2.8 on to /FreeBSD on the Windows partition and installed from there with no problems. We built a kernel with the PCCARD stuff, and it easily talked to the pccard ethernet (I forget the brand, but some standard one). My friend had ordered a DVD drive instead of a CD-ROM, and we couldn't get it to talk to the DVD. XFree86 installed and ran easily (the easiest X config I ever did!). We didn't try talking to the internal modem. We tried installing FreeBSD 3.1 the same way, but the install couldn't find the files on the Windows partition. At this point it was *way* late, so we gave up. Based on some posts earlier this week, I'm guessing that we should have put the files in a different location. My friend also installed Red Hat Linux, but it took him about three days to get it running. He was *much* more impressed with the ease of installing FreeBSD. He said the X installation was a no-brainer, even easier than the FreeBSD one. Now *I* want a Vaio! Cheers!

These may be home-grown, : brought in from PAO, ported from Linux, whatever. There seems to be a : lot of this going on already, where people have cards that don't work : and are hacking up drivers for them. I'm working with Soren's new ata driver getting it to grok ata flash cards. I also have several non-ata flash cards as well that I might try to get working with a different driver. These cards are somewhat problematic because while standards exist, there are lots of them. I also have a longer term wireless driver I'm working on, but that one is on hold until the Libretto comes back from the shop :-( Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
