On a Toshiba Satellite 4030CDT (with ToPIC97 bridge) and "Xircom CE3- 10/100 Fast Ethernet" PCMCIA ethernet card, the following happens: When booting with the card inserted, it is recognised as "Anonymous Memory" (and so fails to operate normally). When inserting the card at a later stage, it is recognised correctly and it functions normally. /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia contains: PCMCIA=yes PCIC=i82365 PCIC_OPTS="poll_interval=100 do_scan=0" CORE_OPTS= I had to add the "poll_interval=100" when installing RH5.2 (then it worked normally) I had to add "do_scan=0" to prevent RH6.2 hanging on booting pcmcia. Thanks.
This is a known problem with certain Toshiba laptops; with the absence of technical help from Toshiba I do not think this will ever get fixed. -- Dave
If this is a hardware issue, then why was the ethernet card recognized correctly when booting RH5.2 and isn't it recognized correctly when booting RH6.2? Martin
