On powerbooks, the card functional interrupt is shared with the card
controller interrupt. That is, your HiSax card will use the same
interrupt for its operations as the TI cardbus controller. Thus, if
the HiSax driver doesn't include SA_SHIRQ in the flags value to the
request_irq call, the request_irq will fail. I would say that is what
you are seeing.
In other words, drivers for cardbus and pcmcia cards will fail on
powerbooks if they are not willing to share their interrupt line.
fail.
Paul.
