From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: When doing an install that requires PCMCIA (e.g. network install with PCMCIA network card) anaconda tries to load PCMCIA modules (pcmcia_core.ko, rsrc_nonstatic.ko, yenta_socket.ko, ds.ko) but ds.ko is not found in modules.cgz Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start the installation and select an installation method that requires the PCMCIA subsystem Actual Results: The logs in the ALT+F3 console show: * module(s) ds not found Additional info:
I found that network install using a PCMCIA NIC is *impossible*, probably due to this bug. The installer prompts to select NIC drivers, which it didn't in FC3. Then, when I select the card I have, it doesn't enable PCMCIA (the card is dead as observed on the switch) and the install fails.
It looks like the way PCMCIA works in the kernel has changed somewhat significantly. Peter can you track down how the modules have changed and adjust our stuff in the loader accordingly.
Hopefully fixed in current CVS; should be in tomorrow's rawhide.
