From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: On the Toshiba laptops, you need the ACPI patch from sourceforge to get things running smoothely - this isn't the problem, it arises when you run this new kernel. The PCMCIA startup scripts (/etc/init.d/pcmcia start) trys to "modprobe yenta_socket.o" instead of "modprobe yenta_socket" - the is a result of seeing if there is a directory "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia" which there is; BUT if you disable that section of code (line #102-the web page describes how), the startup script works just fine and the PCMCIA starts working the way it is suppose to. Simply what is happening is that modprobe cant find the module name "yenta_socket.o" - i could be wrong (you guys are the gurus) but I thought that insmod is used for loading the actual object files (inwhich it looks like it is trying for some reason), and modprobe is for loading the module names (crossreferenced to the object files). NOTE: The use of yenta_socket here is just an example, since it is what is used on the Toshiba laptops... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31.-13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Compile 2.4.19 - with PCMCIA compiled as a module 2.Install normally 3.reboot Actual Results: PCMCIA will not beep or anything... Further investigation from the command line, with /etc/ini.t/pcmcia restart results in "such-n-such module not found: such-n-such.o" simply put it is probing for a module named as the object file, instead of the just the name... Expected Results: probing for module names and not the object file. Additional info: see description above... I dont know if you guys will interested in this or not, but it is required to get the toshiba laptops working (atleast the 5205), but also the main reason I doing this is that it look sto me like it is a bug in the code, simply because if you disable that section the rest of it works just fine...
