Whatever your sound problem is, I don't think it is related to this specific item. I would recommend going to the linux-laptops site and checking out the pages devoted to the IBM TP 600E; it is likely that for a common model like this, people have put together detailed recipies for how to get sound, pcmcia, etc working. As for your specific questions, there are several better ways of handling this sort of thing automatically. If you build the PCMCIA drives with "PnP BIOS support" enabled, they will discover this and any other resource conflicts automatically. I think this option is also available in the newest 2.4.X kernels. PnP BIOS support is not enabled by default because there are compatibility problems on some systems. In the longer term ACPI support should also be able to handle this sort of conflict detection but I don't think it is sufficiently mature at this stage. -- Dave Hinds - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
