PCI Bus Card Problems

Thu Sep 1 04:19:33 EDT 2005

Hi all,

I'm writing again because I have been working on a problem with
cardbus/pcmcia, which is used to connect a Bluetooth pcmcia card (Anycom
Blue CF - 300), on ARM Integrator/AP for quite some time without any
success so far. I have searched the web up and down and I tried anything
I could found on the subject of PCI interrupt probing failure, but still
no success. I couldn't find any information on incompatibility of my pci
bus card and ARM platform. Because of that, I tried two different pci
bus cards that work properly on linux-x86, but they did not work on ARM.
Therefore, either I'm missing something in the kernel's configuration
for ARM or there is a problem with pcmcia on ARM Integrator. However, I
haven't found any information on this in the web. 

The message I always get is:

PCI: enabling device 0000:00:0c.0 (0140 -> 0143)
Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:0c.0 [0000:0000]

Yenta: no PCI IRQ, CardBus support disabled for this socket.
Yenta: check your BIOS CardBus, BIOS IRQ or ACPI settings.

The PCI Bus Card I'm using is:

PCI Bus Card Drive: PCI-IF1/C (32Bit)

        Comply with PCI power management 
      * Comply with ACPI 
      * 1 rear slot, access from rear of PC
      * Accept Type I/II/III Cards (SRAM card, Linear Flash card, ATA
        card, Fax/Modem card and LAN card.) 
      * Comply with PCI Local Bus Specification Rev.2.2 
      * Comply with 1995 PC Card ( CardBus) Standard 
      * ExCa compatible Registers are mapped in Memory 
      * Use T/I 1410 PCMCIA controller 
      * Support PC Card with Hot Insertion and Removal
      * Mix and Match 5V/3.3V PC Card 16/32 bit Cards
      * Support Burst Transfers to Maximize Data Throughput on both PCI
        Buses
      * Supports Distributed DMA and PC/PCI DMA 
      * Support Windows 98/2000/Me/XP
      * Support Linux OS

I'm working on kernel 2.6.13 and the kernel's configuration is:
