[Sunhelp] PCMCIA with Ultra AXi

[Tom]

Hi Everyone,

Wondering if anyone else has come across a similar problem.

I have a SCM Micro PCI PCMCIA card - model SBP-D2 - which I'm trying to get to 
work in my Ultra AXi (333mhz, 384mb, Creator 3D, SunPCi).

Whenever I plug the SCM PCI adapter in, and turn the machine on, it appears to 
go through the POST tests (lights flash on the keyboard) and the monitor gets 
a signal, 'cos it comes out of power saving mode - but that's it. The machine 
doesn't boot, and the screen stays blank.

When I remove the card and power on, the machine boots normally.

With the card came a driver disk with a new /kernel/misc/pcalloc file - but 
it's only for Solaris 2.5.1 and Solaris 2.6. I'm using Solaris 7, and that 
file doesn't exist.

Not being remotely familiar with PCMCIA, I'm a bit lost, to say the least :-) 
SCM Micro's website is worse than useless, and contains no info at all. 
Logging in to Sunsolve and doing a search has returned nothing worthwhile, 
either.

I've just applied the patch cluster from Sunsolve CD 4.0.12, and also the 
106541_10 (13mb download!) kernel patch, but it doesn't seem to have made a 
difference.

Anyone come across this before, or has some more familiarity with PCMCIA and 
is able to shed some light?

Thanks very much for any help at all :-)

Cheers,
TOM
