Journal: Linux PCMCIA IRQ problems

I just solved today my problem with my PCMCIA card reader under Linux Slackware 9.0. The solution went after i read in /var/log/messages this line (after inserting the PC Card) "RequestIRQ: Resource in use", then I understood the cardmgr was failing during automatic assignment of the IRQ to the PC Card reader. So I edited /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and I added the following line: "include IRQ 4" of course if "4" doesn't work you have to sobstitute 4 with a free IRQ, (just cat /proc/interrupts). Than I killed and started again cardmgr and all went fine! If you want to know the filesystem and /dev/* to use just type "fdisk -l", usually it is /dev/hde. Hope this helps
