Subject: yenta-cardbus IRQ0

i have been trying to set up a cardbus card on my thinkpad 760ED for about
the last month and it keeps coming up with IRQ0 and telling me it cant find a
irq for pin A. what would be causing this and how do I correct it i have
already tried APCI and it does not work on my laptop so that is no help. I
have compiled SMP into the kernel though I dont have a dual processor (of
course) to gain the added functionality. I have recompiled my kernel about
150 times with different setting hoping it might just be a conflict in the
kernel with no luck. I looked at the yenta driver it's self and noticed that
it accepts IRQ0 as a valid irq but that appears to mean no irq at all. which
config file would i use to force it to set a irq?


Thanx for any assistanc you might give

uhmm, 1th try to upgrade to a newer one, then I experienced the same problem with a
custom board... the problem was triggered by the Base Address too high:

Region 0: Memory at 10812000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]

moving id_sel (in the PCI core of the board) in order to obtain a lower bar all worked.


BTW, has anybody there ever heared about such a costraint in the PCI specification ??
Why I got this strange behaviour ???

ok, can you give me some more specifics? i.e how do i do that or what

I think you can't do that if you are not able to put your hand in the HW.
There's nothing you can do from linux, that I know...

You can take a look to the PCI specification, but i don't think it will aid
you so much...
