Comment 1 Milan Kerslager 2003-05-26 10:08:44 UTC
Make a symbolic link:

cd /lib/modules/2.4.20-13.7
ln -s kernel/drivers/pcmcia

This bug is more about broken /etc/init.d/pcmcia script. The package
kernel-pcmcia-cs could be fixed to not expect non-existent directory with
modules which trying to load.
