This should be better in phoebe and beyond. PCMCIA was a bizarre case previously that wasn't really directly handled by the loader. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: (During installation via floppy disk on a laptop without cdrom but pccard nic) The additional driver disk image does not contain a valid "modinfo" description file, it seems to be the normal "modinfo" file contained in the usual install image. The module for my network card is present (3c574_cs), but still after manually adding an entry on the "modinfo" file on the pcmciadd.img driver disk hte ds.o module does not load correctly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.create bootnet.img and pcmciadd.img disks 2.install with linux dd to load the driver disk 3.the driver list is not consistent with the pcmciadd.img disk Actual Results: No way to install with laptop via network Additional info: After manually changing the modinfo file on the pcmciadd.img disk, I can choose my pccard nic, but module ds.o does not load correctly, I presume a missing option to ds.o. The log says * inserted pcmcia_core.o /tmp/ds.o: init modules: Hint; insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters * failed to insert /tmp/ds.o
