Please run "probe" on the system after installation and post the resulting output (should be like 3 or 4 lines) to us. We will take a look and see if that tells us anything interesting about the machine. Closed due to inactivity. |
When installing from PCMCIA installation disk on IBM Thinkpad 240, the PCMCIA services function correctly. In fact, I did a network install. After reboot, PCMCIA services don't start. lsmod shows no loaded modules. I did some digging on the internet, and found one other person who posted a solution: editting the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia file. For my particular laptop, this amounted to changing a file that looked like: PCMCIA=no PCIC= PCIC_OPTS= CORE_OPTS= to one that looked like: PCMCIA=yes PCIC='i82365' PCIC_OPTS='cs_irq=11 irq_list=3' CORE_OPTS="unreset_delay=400" Before I found this web site, I tried editting this file and changing PCMCIA=no to PCMCIA=yes, which just gave me the error "no PCIC defined". I then found the above info on the 'net (at a japanese web site). What I can't understand is why on bootup the installation disk located my PCMCIA subsystem and correctly loaded the drivers, as well as the ethernet driver for my PCMCIA card, and couldn't do it after the reboot. The problem lies in the logic there, it seems, of passing on the configuration identified by the initial boot disk to the installed operating system. I am willing to help troubleshoot this if you need my help. I'd like to have a seamless installation next time! Jason
