For me the problem is not that : The directory /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7 does not contains the pcmcia objects. To resolv this situation : - install the sources rpm for the kernel - make mrproper - copy form configs the right config file for your machine - make dep clean - make bzImage - make modules modules_install - make install witch changes the grub.conf You will see the /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7custom will contains a pcmcia directory with all the symlinks to the objects you'd just compiled. Cheers Pierre My kernel, the errata one from Red Hat, contains the pcmcia objects. $ ls -l /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/ total 320 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14400 May 12 13:35 3c574_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13236 May 12 13:35 3c589_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8588 May 12 13:35 aironet4500_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17052 May 12 13:35 axnet_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13736 May 12 13:35 fmvj18x_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23908 May 12 13:35 ibmtr_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13460 May 12 13:35 netwave_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10660 May 12 13:35 nmclan_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17664 May 12 13:35 pcnet_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26832 May 12 13:35 ray_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23852 May 12 13:35 smc91c92_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 29140 May 12 13:35 wavelan_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31517 May 12 13:35 wvlan_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18068 May 12 13:35 xirc2ps_cs.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11020 May 12 13:35 xircom_cb.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 17820 May 12 13:35 xircom_tulip_cb.o $ The issue, as I said in my original post, is that the symlinks that used to live in /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7/pcmcia have been removed, but kernel-pcmcia-cs -- which contains the /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia rc script -- hasn't been updated to reflect that change. I can build a new kernel sure, but that doesn't seem right to force someone to do just because they're using Red Hat 7.3 on a laptop. Removing the symlinks was intentional, check the changelog of the kernel. Updating this package ought to go along with that. Jason An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: The new kernel errata (2.4.20-13.7) removes the symlinks in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia (noted as unnecessary in the srpm) and pcmcia services on 7.3 no longer work. [root@jcorley-laptop root]# service pcmcia start Starting PCMCIA services: module directory /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7/pcmcia not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install new kernel errata 2. Try to start pcmcia services 3. See error message Actual Results: [root@jcorley-laptop root]# service pcmcia start Starting PCMCIA services: module directory /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7/pcmcia not found. Expected Results: service pcmcia start should return a bunch of information from cardmgr. Additional info: kernel-pcmcia-cs should probably be updated to deal with the removal of legacy symlinks in the kernel package.
