Currently, the only solutions are to use the 2.6.16 kernel, or to pull some particular versions of the PCMCIA driver files from CVS, combined with the --enable-pcmcia configure option to override the PCMCIA detection. The CVS revisions are as follows: comedi/drivers/cb_das16.c 1.16 comedi/drivers/das08_cs.c 1.7 comedi/drivers/ni_daq_dio24.c 1.12 comedi/drivers/ni_mio_cs.c 1.69 comedi/drivers/ni_labpc_cs.c 1.12 comedi/drivers/quatech_daqp_cs.c 1.22 Those revisions will not work with the 2.6.16 kernel unless you also apply this patch: Index: include/pcmcia/ds.h =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/comedi/comedi/include/pcmcia/ds.h,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -r1.4 ds.h --- include/pcmcia/ds.h 27 Feb 2005 23:12:25 -0000 1.4 +++ include/pcmcia/ds.h 15 May 2006 16:53:31 -0000 _at__at_ -37,5 +37,15 _at__at_ #endif +/* + * Define COMEDI_PCMCIA_2_6_16 if struct pcmcia_driver interface is + * like kernel version 2.6.16.

I don't know if it's important or related to the PCMCIA error. Don't worry about that one. -- -=( Ian Abbott _at_ MEV Ltd.
