If you boot with BootX (which you *can* *not* use with the Pismo), OpenFirmware takes care that the CardBus Bridge is initialised properly (but the kernel still get a wrong number of pci busses on the Wallstreet/Lombard...). If you boot with yaboot, some registers in the bridge contain bad values. I tried the stock LinuxPPC 2.2.18 sources a few days ago, and they *still* need the patch. I did not try the kernel-pmac rpm though, but if your box does not detect the IRQ, there is no other solution than building a new kernel. > What patches do I have to apply to my kernel?

You just have to patch your kernel sources, as decsribed on my web page (see http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/iri/Archiv/LinuxPPC/PCMCIA.html, just follow the instructions in the section "Kernel Setup"). It *might* be possible for you to use the kernel-pcmcia-cs-2.2.18-4h.ppc.rpm package. If it does not work, you should build your own pcmcia stuff. As pointed out in the "PCMCIA/CardBus" section of the web page mentioned above, on the Pismo you should use the stock package from sourceforge *without* any additional patches. You *must* change the pcmcia config files afterwards, though. Hth, Albrecht. -- ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
