<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- PC running Linux</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- PCMCIA Card Holder with Texas Instruments PCI 1420 Controller</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On Kernel 2.6.9, any PCMCIA Card worked well.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Now on 2.6.18 (even 2.6.28) no 16 Bit PCMCIA Card is working in the slot. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">32-bit cards work well.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On a notebook computer with 2.6.18 kernel, it works well.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It looks like it would get no interrupt, port or shared memory.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">We tried some things:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- the problem appears with Redhat EL 5, Debian Etch, Vanilla Kernel xxx, Ubuntu (2.6.28)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- checking different start parameters for the kernel made no changes</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- Dominik Brodowski had a short look but not enough time to support further</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- made some diagnostic ouput (attachment)</FONT>
