PCMCIA VR4131

PCMCIA VR4131

[Suresh. R]

Hi,
  I am modifying the PCMCIA driver (linux 2.4.18 for mips) to make it
work it with the Richo controller(RF5C296). I made some hack and now the
driver is able to detect the type of controller and also the cardmgr is
detecting the type of the card plugged in properly(and properly
inserting the module for that card). But then (I am right now just
trying to make the CF storage card work with the kernel) when I load all
the modules and then run cardmgr and insert the card, I am getting the
following message. 

ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe

This messages keeps repeating for some time and then it stops saying the
resource is busy.

The pcmcia driver is right now working in the polling mode. Please help
me, if someone has done it before. I just modified the MEM base and IO
base and now outb and inb are reading from that location. So I think the
CIS is being read properly. What could be wrong ?.

Thanks in advance

Regards
Suresh

What did you set ioport range in your config.opts?
