G'day, On my IBM A31p laptop, PCMCIA worked fine with Redhat 7.3, but is now broken following my update to RH 8.0. I only need PCMCIA for my Adaptec SlimSCSI 1460C SCSI controller connected to my JAZ disk drive. With RH 7.3, I had serial (IRQ 4), parallel (IRQ 7), and IRDA (IRQ 3) enabled in the bios and all seemed to work well. However under RH 8, I keep getting errors concerning interrupts (see below). In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, I put in exclude lines for IRQs 3, 4, 5, 7, 9 as tests. I still had the probem. Next I disabled IRDA to free up IRQ 3 and removed the exclude IRQ 3 line. I still can't get PCMCIA to work properly. Note, with the original files as shipped with RedHat 8.0, I got some messages about config errors in the PCMCIA config file. These were due to incorrect lines (and I commented them out).
