Enumerator error: can't locate pccard server

QNX Newsgroups (Archives) qdn.public.qnxrtp.installation

I’m trying to install 6.1 on the only partition of a laptop from
CD. Everything seemed to install OK. When I boot, I get this
can’t locate pccard server message, and my PCMCIA Ethernet card
(3Com model 3CXE589EC) doesn’t show up in the network options.

It is an older laptop (Gateway Solo 2100) that doesn’t support
CardBus. I’m assuming as long as I’m getting this “pccard”
message that I won’t be able to get my Ethernet card to work.

Here’s what I’m assuming is the relevant part of “pci -v”:
Class = Bridge (PCI/PCMCIA)
Vendor ID = 1013h, Cirrus Logic
Device ID = 1100h, CL-PD6729 PCI-to-PC Card host adapter
PCI index = 0h
Class Codes = 060500h
Revision ID = feh
Bus number = 0
Device number = 19
Function num = 0
Status Reg = 83h
Header type = 0h Single-function
BIST = 0h Build in-self-test not supported
Latency Timer = 0h
Cache Line Size = 0h
PCI IO Address = fcfch length 4 enabled
Max Lat = 0ns
Min Gnt = 0ns
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt Line = no connection

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really want to get
this machine on my network so I can start to use it, as the
floppy on it is flaky and basically the only way I can get stuff
to it without the network is burning a CD.

Thanks.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I noticed there was
an eariler thread with what sounded like exacty the same problem
but no solution posted, and the original poster said he never
found one.

There also seems to be a flag on one of the processes in QNX 4
specific to my CL-PD6729 chipset, but no mention anywhere in the
documentation of anything special to do for RTP 6.x.

As before, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Craig,

What happens when you run devp-pccard from the command line?
Can you then type ‘pin’ and see your card attached?

Erick.

Thanks for the response. When I run devp-pccard from the command line
nothing gets printed, and when I check afterwards in the process list
it isn’t there either. I’m assuming it is supposed to be.

Typing “pin” afterwards gives: “pin: unable to attach to PCCARD server (No
such file or directory).”, but I’m assuming that’s the right response if
devp-pccard isn’t starting up properly.

There was another thread last year that seemed to describe my problem,
but was never resolved. Titled “devp-pccard problem” and dated 7/30/01
to around 8/6/01, the support person suggested:

Please try do following:

  1. slay pci-bios
  2. pci-bios -vvv
  3. devp-pccard ss -v
  4. sloginfo > file
  5. send us ‘file’

Anyhow, when I do that, the resulting file at the end has some lines:

5 17 0 io_open for id = 3
5 18 0 Lastbus 1 - Version 210 - Hardware 0
5 18 0 Last bus used = 0
5 17 0 IRQ failed 577981222265815040 - Flags 80566e8
2 17 0 Alloc IRQ failed
2 18 0 add_pci: attach device failed
2 18 0 devp-pccard: No PCMCIA or CardBus Adapters found - exiting
5 17 0 io_close_ocb

I’m assuming that’s where it is failing. Is that useful? Let me know
what other info I can provide. Many thanks!

Hi Craig,

Try the latest version of pci-bios located at developers.qnx.com.

Actually, I had already installed the pci-bios (size 42332 bytes) at
http://developers.qnx.com/Fixes/Software/
based on a posting I had read on this newsgroup. Unless it has been
updated since I first posted, but it appears to be dated last August.
I was using that version for the messages I posted below.

Is there any other info I can provide that would be useful in
solving this? I would still very much like to get this working
if possible.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi Craig,

Could you do the following again and send us the full ouput, we are looking to
see how the pci-bios is enumerating this device.

  1. slay pci-bios
  2. pci-bios -vvv
  3. devp-pccard ss -v
  4. sloginfo > file
  5. pci -vvv > file2
  6. send us file and file2

Note: Make sure slogger is running before starting the above steps.

Joe
