Recognizing a PC card does not function.
There can be many reasons for this. One of them is mentioned here: (http://hyper.stanford.edu/~dhinds/pcmcia/ftp/BUGS):
Interrupt routing on O2Micro CardBus bridges seems to have problems. Toshiba ToPIC97 bridges also seem to have problems, particularly with Cardbus cards. Prognosis: for the ToPIC problem, Toshiba does not seem willing and/or able to provide adequate help, so I've mostly given up on it. For both the O2Micro and ToPIC problems, fixes would require someone with device driver experience and the relevant hardware to work on it: data sheets are available, and I can make suggestions of things to try, but I can't debug the problems by email. With ToPIC chipsets, some systems seem to work better if the bridge mode is changed to either "PCIC" or "CardBus", rather than "Auto", in the BIOS setup menu.
So just try setting the "bridge mode" in the BIOS of your Notebooks to
"PCIC
" or "CardBus
" and then start the installation process again.
