[linuxsh-dev] Help: initialisation of CF card

[akira <aki...@ho...>]

Hi everybody,

I have a 7727 solution engine, the pcmcia controller is a Marabum =
MR-SHPC-01 V1.
I try to boot the system from a CF card ( HITACHI HB288064C5 ).
I use the ipl+g.
The initialization from the pcmcia controller it seems to work,
but I am not sure because I haven't find the manual of MR-SHPC-01 V1 in =
English.

???Someone can mi help to find it?

In the file ide.c  in the ide_reset() function ide_inb (IDE_ERROR) =
return 0 instead of 1.=20
The status register indicate: =20
status =3D ide_inb (IDE_ALTERNATE_STATUS)  status =3D  h'3E when the CF =
is plugged in.=20
I am not successful to make to change it.
I think the is a problem from initialization.
??? already it has happened to someone?  you have some idea in merit? =20

I have moreover some question:=20
1)the marabum is set to work in I/O card mode o in True IDE mode?
2) it is possible that mine card is incompatible with the marabum?

Tanks.
