The snapshot was form the 14th August 2009. At this time the source packet "gentoo-sources-2.6.30-r4" was the current stable for the x86 platform, which I used. Maybe the output in some cases may variey, but at all I had the same problem: dmesg only shows that a card was inserted or ejected and also lspci doesn't listed the card (without the -H1 parameter). After that i first tried some other *nixes, but with moderatly success. But 'cause Linux is my favorite os, I thought, I try it with posting here on the mailing list. > > pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage from process: hwsetup. > > pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed from the kernel; please > > expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools. > > pcmcia: see > > http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html for > > details. I read this page also before, but it doesn't help. eg. pcmcia-socket-startup doesn't help and the bridge problem with the subordinate doesn't fit, but I already have tried the "pci=assign-busses" commandline already, unfortunately without success. > > warning: process `hwsetup' used the deprecated sysctl system call with > > 1.49. warning: process `hwsetup' used the deprecated sysctl system call > > with 1.49. > > It looks as if that Gentoo CD is still using the deprecated pcmcia-cs > utilities instead of the new pcmciautils. That's an idea, but in the installed gentoo system there where no hwsetup utility (only the usual init scrips, which simply loaded the necessary modules). I admit, that I don't know what exacly hwsetup does, but it seems that it only look what devices are present and load the needed kernel modules. Maybe the following information will help to solve the Problem: * On FreeBSD the system freezes when i insert the card and the kernel fire frequently messages of an "interrupt storm", and that it would throttle it. (That's the reason why I referred at the interrupt routing difference between lspci with the "special Intel"-detection Method and without. I'm not very familiar with lowlevel development and don't now whether this matters or not...) If you think it could help to install a new kernel or you need some information or output, please tell me, it's no problem to install gentoo (or any other distribution) with a specific kernel (and maybe some patches) > > Hope that helps, > FJP -- 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/
