PCMCIA detection is done in the installer. What hardware do you have which is not being detected? This sounds like a hotplug issue when you reboot. Both of the following cards were not detected at the time of install or after subsequent reboots: XIRCOM CEM56-100, 3Com Etherlink III (3c589D). It appears as though it doesn't see the pcmcia slots. I do not have this problem when I have loaded RH 7.3 . Do you have anything in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia? The /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file has the following: PCMCIA=no PCIC= PCIC_OPTS= CORE_OPTS= Hm, that's supposed to be detected and set up by anaconda. What does /sbin/probe say? PCI bridge probe: not found. Intel PCIC probe: not found. Databook TCIC-2 probe: not found. Anything new regarding this problem? Should I attempt to reload RH 8.0? Created attachment 85904 [details]
Anaconda dump file
The attached anaconda dump file occurred after I reloaded RH 7.3 then attempted to do an upgrade installation to RH 8.0. The latest problem you reported is due to a bad CD. Closing dur to inactivity, please reopen if you have additional information to add. I have tried different media, that passed the media test in the RH 8.0 installation. I have used different pcmcia cards, and different slots on the laptop, and still the pcmcia controller is not found at installation, or with kudzu after the laptop loads. This was a bug in the kernel-pcmcia-cs that shipped in 8.0. The probing code was broken, so if you had a non-cardbus socket, it wouldn't be found. This should be fixed in the next rawhide version of anaconda. |
