So... what kind of machine is this, exactly? You can try specifying PCIC_OPTS="extra_sockets=1" in your PCMCIA startup options (/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia for Red Hat). I'm not sure how else the probe could misdetect the number of sockets. -- Dave

I put the extra_sockets=1 in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, but rebooting the system got me the same messages. I used to use this laptop with Win 95 and both slots. The computer is a AST Ascentia 910N (486DX4/75Mhz 8Mb + 4Mb addition module). Linux is build 2.0.35, Caldera Openlinux 1.3. Thanks for your help- Jesse
