Appendix-I:
Instruction to Using PC-Card type of Storage Media
(CompactFlash, MicroDrive, and HardDrive)
(for Sensoray 24xx only)
1) check the PCMCIA setting in file /usr/etc/system.config, and make sure that the
setting is still with default setting ( PCMCIA = "yes" ). The PCMCIA section should be
like:
#Enable PCMCIA - "no" or "yes"
PCMCIA="yes"
Note: this step is optional. If you never touch the distributed 24xx kernel and make
any change different from default setting, skip this step.
2) check and make sure the following files under the certain directories:
ide_cs.o
under:
/lib/modules/2.4.10-S301/pcmcia
ide
/etc/pcmcia
ide.conf
/etc/pcmcia
ide.opts
/etc/pcmcia
run "ls –la /etc/pcmcia" to check file "ide" with permission "–r-xr-xr-x". If not,
run "cd /etc/pcmcia", "chmod 555 ide".
Note: step 2) is optional. If you never touch the distributed 24xx kernel and make
any change different from distribution, skip this step.
3) with latest 24xx kernel distribution, following PC-Card type of storage media are
supported:
SanDisk
CompactFlash
(CF)
Lexar
CompactFlash
(CF)
Hitachi
MicroDrive
(MD)
Toshiba
PC-Card ATA/PCMCIA HD (Hard Drive)
If user(s) need add different brand(s) of PC-Card storage media, contact Sensoray for
support of adding. Once you received new "ide.conf" and "ide.opts" files from Sensoray,
you need load them (via ftp) into 24xx target /etc/pcmcia to replace old ones for the new
support. Note: you may need to run "remount -w /" first before loading the files down to
24xx target. It will enable write access to kernel directories for loading the new files.
4) run "lsmod", see if you get the related driver modules installed and loaded. Note:
this step needs you have a PC-Card storage media (CF, MD, or HD) inserted in one of PC-
Card slots on Model 340 in 24xx stack:
msdos
fat
ide-disk
ide_cs
ide-probe-mod
ide-mod
Note: this step is optional and just for checking. If you never touch the distributed
24xx kernel and make any change to the kernel, skip this step.
