I have a similar problem with a Thinkpad 600e:
The machine has RedHat6.2, and the original kernel (2.2.14-5) as well as every 2.4.0-test* kernel I've tried (test5, test9, test10 and test12) have had no trouble with the PCMCIA (actually Cardbus) card I use (a 3Com 3C575, but I don't think it has anything to do with the card itself).
Well, 2.4.0 does not seem to be able to talk to the card. The first sign of trouble is the lines:
cs: socket c13d4800 timed out during reset. Try increasing setup_delay.
at the point where other kernels say instead:
cs: cb_alloc(bus 5): vendor 0x10b7, device 0x5057
and so the former does not seem to be able to access the card while the others are happy.
All of this is with 2.4 kernels that include all the necessary pieces (no modules), which makes it harder to go change the setup_delay. I can make the PCMCIA stuff into modules, but the point is that neither setup_delay nor any other of the default values for the module parameters changed between test12 and release, so I'm not sure that it will really make a difference.
One other thing I did try: If I eject and re-insert the card after the system is up, it then starts working. So I actually have a workaround, but I'd like to know what is really happening and how to fix it.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Gmo.
