For what it's worth: tried installing pcmcia 3.1.8, still no go. This time I get messages along the lines of memory_cs: mem0: anonymous: unknown size memory_cs: mem1: anonymous: unknown size BTW I noticed a possible point of confusion in the install procedure. If installing over an existing setup, it "seems" like the old config files in /etc/pcmcia get moved to *.O, like the HOWTO says. But /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia seems to remain unchanged, the new script being installed as *.N. I didn't notice this before and was trying to start up services with an old rc.pcmcia. I since fixed that and none of my previous problems went away. But it is a potential source of confusion (unless it's in the HOWTO and I missed it). OK, enough time wasted on this thing. PLIP doesn't work on this machine either, making it almost completely un-networkable. Grrrr, will research my next laptop purchase more carefully. grateful for all advice, Judah milgram@cgpp.com

Ok: Yay! Re: ... and more yet (Judah Milgram) Date: 2000, Jan 30 From: Judah Milgram Jud

Thanks to David Hinds for providing the critical suggestion. This works: Tecra 700CT Linux 2.2.6 pcmcia 3.0.5 (or 6?) PCIC_OPTS="do_pci_scan=0" Also worked: same as above with Linux 2.0.38 and pcmcia 3.0.9 also: just adding that PCIC option and doing restarting (with rc.pcmcia restart - maybe I also tried "stop"+"start") didn't work, I had to do a cold reboot. I addition, during much of this saga the machine was in resume mode without my noticing it; possibly this was a factor too. Thanks again Dave! Judah
