Re: CONFIG_PCMCIA_APA1480 not linked to any code ?

[Colin Frank]

This card is now handled by the the (aic7xxx) HOTPLUG PCI interface.
It is not at all clear on the docs, but do NOT use the apa1480_cb dirver.
It crashes my 2.4.x system.

Configure the kernel 2.4.9 with:
    CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y
    CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
    CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=m

# modprobe aic7xxx

card "Adaptec APA-1480 SCSI Host Adapter"
  manfid 0x012f, 0xcb01
  bind "aic7xxx"
  bind "apa1480_cb"

To keep pcmcia from autoloading apa1480_cb when the card is inserted,
Edit: /etc/pcmcia/config
comment out the "apa1480_cb" stuff or try to replace it with aic7xxx
