PCMCIA install of Red Hat 7.1 does not work.  Booting from pcmcia.img works
fine
but when the PCMCIA device drivers floppy is inserted and the process is
continued,
the installation process hangs for at least 12 (twelve!) hours!!

Earlier installations of 6.X and 7.0 via PCMCIA worked fine.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert the pcmcia.img into the laptop floppy drive 
2.Start up the laptop
3.Follow the on-screen instructions

	

Actual Results:  TOTAL SYSTEM HANG!

Expected Results:  Installation procedure

No error messages,  just a complete hang.

I just purchased a Toshiba Satellite-S103 and I loaded Windows XP Pro on the  
hard drive.  Then as I was attempting to load Red Hat 8.0, I ran into the same  
"Initialize PC Card Devices" error.  I tried the nopcmcia, then I got a "Blue  
Screen of Death".    
  
HERE'S HOW I GOT IT TO LOAD:  
  
linux nopcmcia resolution=640x480 noprobe <enter>  
  
When you are loading Linux, make sure to hit I for interactive startup.  When  
it asks for starting PCMCIA (y/n/c), be sure to hit no (n).  Then it loads  
fine.  If anyone comes across or makes a driver for the pcmcia card on the  
Toshiba laptops, please let me know: td41
