Description of problem: Failure to load pcmcia modules after reboot or "service pcmcia restart" resulted in no network connection Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11.i386.rpm How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Uvh kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11.i386.rpm hwdata-0.62-2.noarch.rpm 2. service pcmcia restart 3. Actual results: root@beermat:root# service pcmcia start Starting PCMCIA services: modulesmodprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o modprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o modprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-18.8.0/pcmcia/ds.o cardmgr. Expected results: kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9.i386.rpm and hwdata-0.47-1.noarch.rpm from RedHat 8.0 work OK. lsmod then shows (in part): pcnet_cs 15040 1 8390 8236 0 [pcnet_cs] ds 8712 2 [pcnet_cs] yenta_socket 12928 2 pcmcia_core 54752 0 [pcnet_cs ds yenta_socket] Additional info: Using kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 from RedHat 8.0 updates.
did you get the other requirements too of the kernel ? (eg modutils and kudzu etc)
I didn't --force the rpm upgrade, so can't I assume that the dependencies are satisfied? I tested with: kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 hwdata-0.47-1 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9 modutils-2.4.22-1 kudzu-0.99.83-1 If I downgrade kernel-pcmcia-cs and its conflicts: hwdata and kudzu, then everything works: kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 hwdata-0.62-2 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11 modutils-2.4.22-1 kudzu-0.99.69-1
hmm weird; I run like that on my laptop ;( maybe you need to do depmod -ae after installing the new modutils ?
Oops, typo: It fails with: kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 hwdata-0.47-1 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11 modutils-2.4.22-1 kudzu-0.99.83-1 It works with: kernel-2.4.18-18.8.0 hwdata-0.62-2 kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-9 modutils-2.4.22-1 kudzu-0.99.69-1
> maybe you need to do depmod -ae after installing the new modutils ? I tried this: rpm -Uvh modutils-2.4.22-1.i386.rpm modutils-devel-2.4.22-1.i386.rpm depmod -ae service pcmcia restart same problem
Are there errors in /var/log/messages or dmesg?
Yes, something about syntax errors in the config file: root@beermat:rawhide# rpm -Fvh hwdata-0.62-2.noarch.rpm kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-11.i386.rpm kudzu-0.99.83-1.i386.rpm kudzu-devel-0.99.83-1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:hwdata ########################################### [ 25%] 2:kudzu ########################################### [ 50%] 3:kernel-pcmcia-cs ########################################### [ 75%] 4:kudzu-devel ########################################### [100%] root@beermat:rawhide# service pcmcia restart Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgr modules.
