Question: PCMCIA won't start (Kernel 2.4.0-test5, pcmcia-cs-3.1.20) 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Aug 10
From: Talei McLeod talei

Hi,

I am having terrible troubles getting the PCMCIA package to work on my PC.

I have kernel 2.4.0-test5 installed. I originally compiled this with all of the PCMCIA options, but after reading a previous message, I have since compiled the kernel with no PCMCIA options.

Instead I have compiled the pcmcia-cs-3.1.20 package.

I should point out that I am using a PCMCIA internal ISA card reader for a desktop with a VIA VT83C479 controller chip. This should be OK.

Also, isapnp detects this PCMCIA reader.

On startup, these are the messages that are written to the log :

Aug 10 15:02:04 sydhcp131216 cardmgr[472]: exiting

If I run "pcmcia status" this states that the cardmgr is not running.

If i try "pcmcia start" here is the error mesg : 

Starting PCMCIA services: modulesinsmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists
/lib/modules/2.4.0-test5/pcmcia/i82365.o: init_module: No such device

 cardmgr.

If anyone can offer any suggestions it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Talei.
