[iPAQ] iPAQ H3870 Dual boot fbdev and pcmcia problems

G'Day,

I have managed to install intimate Linux on a H3870 with dual sleeve booting from a 5GB Toshiba PCMCIA Drive.
I have built a custom kernel using 2.4.18 source patched with rmk6. If I define the SA11x0 implementation
as a "Compaq iPAQ H3600/H3700" only I am able to boot from the IDE drive in either
of the Sleeve slots. However I do not get anything on the iPAQ display at all. Once booted the
Xfbdev process is there which seems to indicate that the fb device was initialised to some extent.
If I compile the Kernel with "Compaq iPAQ H3800" support I get a nice Tux logo on the display but
the sa1100_cs module no longer loads exiting with the error message:

"This hardware is not supported by the SA1100 Card Service driver"

I added a few lines to sa1100_generic.c:

#ifdef CONFIG_SA1100_H3800
  if (machine_is_h3800())
    pcmcia_low_level = &h3600_pcmcia_ops;
#endif

The module then loads but cardmgr fails to detect any cards.

The second slot of the Sleeve also seems to be unuseable with the device
(pcnet or wireless card) consistently being detected as "Anonymous Memory". The PCMCIA-HOWTO seems to indicate that this is a memory probe failure or a timing issue......
The sa1100_cs module doesn't seem to accept any parameters so I couldn't adjust the timing
using that method. I went with the default intimate config.opts file that defines quite a few
io ports and memory mappings.......I was unable to track down any specific values for the iPAQ.

If anyone has any ideas regarding these issues help would be greatly appreciated!

Thankyou

Garth
