Hi,
I have just bought a SmartMedia card reader for the parport, since I
want to fetch Images of my digicam also into my Toshiba Satellite 210.
This piece is labeled by Hama (Germany) and I don't know if any
'originals' exists. The only thing I surely can say is that the reader
is based on a Shuttle EP1284 chip. I was really happy about that fact
'cause I knew about the epat.o driver. I tested the reader in my vmware
win98 box, and all is fine.
But now (what a surprise in topics of windows designed hardware ;-) I
can't get it working on my linux box(Desktop and Notebook both running a
2.4.18 kernel, one SuSE, one Debian Woody).
Here some dmesg...
------------------------------------------------------------
paride: version 1.06 installed (parport)
paride: epat registered as protocol 0
pd: pd version 1.05, major 45, cluster 64, nice 0
epat_init_protopda: Autoprobe failed
pd: no valid drive found
pf: pf version 1.04, major 47, cluster 64, nice 0
epat_init_protopf0: Autoprobe failed
pf: No ATAPI disk detected
pg: pg version 1.02, major 97
epat_init_protopg0: Autoprobe failed
pg: No ATAPI device detected
------------------------------------------------------------
And some console input/output...
zaphod:/home/ron # insmod pd
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pd.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-4GB/kernel/drivers/block/paride/pd.o: init_module:
Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters,
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
A valid SmartMedia is in the slot. I attempted in my running module
setup, after (native) Windows boot and after unloading all parport
concerning modules with following step-by-step insmod...nothing happen.
Therefore I think it's a mystique protocol problem, or what ever.
May be there is one out there, who have successfully get it(or similar)
work. I would be deeply grateful...
Ron
