From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021218 Description of problem: As a direct result of bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80882 - can not start this machine up with kernel 2.4.20-2.2, I must start up this machine with earlier kernel (kernel 2.4.18-19-8-0) and when there is no pcmcia adapters found on this machine anymore. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) Upgrade HP OmniBook XT6050 to Phoebe. 2) Enable pcmcia and try some pcmcia card with it. Actual Results: No pcmcia cards found (punch of errors). Expected Results: No errors and working cards. Additional info: /var/log/messages will contain: pcmcia: modprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/pcmcia/pcmcia-core.o cardmgr[489]: starting, version is 3.1.31 pcmcia: modprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/pcmcia/yenta-socket.o cardmgr[489]:config error, file 'config' line 1056: syntax error cardmgr[489]:config error, file 'config' line 2136: no function bindings pcmcia: modprobe: Can't locate module /lib/modules/2.4.18-19.8.0/pcmcia/ds.o cardmgr[489]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices These files are there (actually links to these files) and when to manually insmod these then they load fine. And after a (re)start of cardmgr - there are pcmcia devices available again! What is this 'config' file and why these files are not found at startup?
Does the rawhide kernel-pcmcia-cs solve this for you?
No. Only difference is that all error messages are gone (only message is "pcmcia: started successfully"). Still no pcmcia_core.o, yenta-socket.o or ds.o module are loaded and no pcmcia devices are found.
No changes with Phoebe Beta 8.0.93.
No changes with kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13.i386.rpm .
Any news?
It is strange that pcmcia is unable to start up at bootime, but fortunately I get the pcmcia working by running: modprobe pcmcia_core modprobe yenta_socket modprobe ds cardmgr
As the release of RedHat Linux 9.0 is imminent, what is the status of this bug?
