cs: pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power

[Corey]

I have installed Hoary on my Averatec 3260EE1 and when booting I get about 50
lines or so of

configuring network devices
cs: pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power (this is where the loop begins)

After a minute or two, it will output [OK] and move on and finish the boot.
When shutting down I get about three or four lines with the same message.

Is there a fix for this?

I failed to mention that I don't have a card in the pcmcia slot.

Can you send the output of lspci and lsmod.

Thanks

lspci (with and without the pcmcia card) & lsmod

This are the 'lspci' and the 'lsmod' outputs of my Compaq Evo N600c laptop with
the same bug. The bug appears if the pcmcia is inserted while Ubuntu is
running. More information about the bug can be found at:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/powerbugs.html#1

Laptop: Compaq Evo n600c
PCMCIA Card: Conceptronic USB 2.0 card (pcmcia type II)

But yesterday I've found that with the Ubuntu Hoary Live the pcmcia card
support its ok, and the acpi power management, intel speedstep, etc...
supported too but with the Ubuntu installed doesn't work, nothing works, nor
acpi/speedstep nor pcmcia card.

I'll submit my dmesg output too.

dmesg output in Compaq Evo N600c with ubuntu completely loaded and connecting
the pcmcia card after login with an user.

This bug has been flagged because it is old and possibly inactive. It may or may
not be fixed in the latest release (Breezy Badger 5.10). It is being marked as
"NEEDSINFO". In two weeks time, if the bug is not updated back to "NEW" and
validated against Breezy, it will be closed.

This is needed in order to help manage the current bug list for the kernel. We
would like to fix all bugs, but need users to test and help with debugging.

If this change was in error for this bug, please respond and make the
appropriate change (or email <email address hidden> if you cannot make the
change).

Thanks for your help.

[Ben Collins (ben-collins)]

If possible, please upgrade to Dapper's 2.6.15-7 kernel. If you do not want to
upgrade to Dapper, then you can also wait for the Dapper Flight 2 CD's, which
are due out within the next few days.

Let me know if this bug still exists with this kernel.

[Carthik Sharma (carthik)]

Closing this bug since the original reporter hasn't provided feedback for over three months.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if the issue still exists with the current Dapper kernel.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

No reason to believe it's fixed, so rejected is better.

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

I have the same problem with Breezy (2.6.12-10-686 kernel) on an Acer Aspire 1692WLMi Laptop. When I insert a pcmcia2usb2 card into the slot I get

[4296263.848000] cs: pcmcia_socket0: unable to apply power.

at dmesg and the card does not work.

I attach the output of dmesg, lshw, lspci and lsmod.

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

Created with
# dmesg > dmesg.txt

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

# lshw > lshw.txt

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

# lsmod -vv > lsmod.txt

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

# lspci -vv

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

When the laptop is booted with the pcmcia card inserted, the card works properly.

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

Also after booting the laptop with the card already inserted, if I remove and after a while re-insert the card, the card works properly.

I attach the output of dmesg regarding the insertion of the card after having booted with it inserted and removed it.

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

I booted the laptop with the card into the pcmcia slot. After logging into the booted system I removed the card from the slot. Then I inserted the card again into the slot. I run dmesg and pasted the last lines concerning the insertion of the card into the dmesg_cardworking.txt file.

[Dennis Kaarsemaker (dennis)]

Konstantinos: can you please test with the latest dapper kernel? A test with a daily live cd would be good enough :)

[Konstantinos Togias (ktogias)]

I am a little confused. I am unable to reproduce the bug. It only happened once. After that either booting with the card inserted or not the card works. I also tested with dapper (kernel 2.6.15-20-386). The pcmcia card works properly.

I have the same problem with 2.6.15-23 kernel, works on the live CD (xubuntu) but not after install.

[yoyoguy2 (yoyoguy2)]

lsmod for my laptop

[yoyoguy2 (yoyoguy2)]

lspci. let me know if there's anything else i can provide you with or test.
