I have installed TurboLinux 6.0 on an external IDE hard disk with PCMCIA interface (brand: 'Kangourou disk') and got the same problem: at the first boot the Linux partition cannot be seen because the PCMCIA driver is not still loaded.

I understand that the problem can be solved following the instructions of chapt.5.3 of the PCMCIA-HOWTO, but they are not understatable to me: I do not know anything about Linux.

In particular I cannot understand how I can pass commands to Linux such as pcinitrd when Linux OS is not running.

Could an expert write down step-by-step instructions for non-specialists?

Gratefully,
Leonardo Presciuttini

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
