PCMCIA related Reinstalling system on new disk (other died). I kewn PCMCIA was problematic from my former installation (which I had done from boot floppies). E.g. see http://www.trenkamp.org/i8k-installation.html#debian It finishes loading all the programs required to boot (think they are called 'components') but fails to go not next screen. I have to remove the power supply and battery. Booting with debug, the last message seen in console is (none) klogd Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 I tried noapic option and it still fails. nopcmcia also. I tried "linux pci=biosirq acpi=on nopcmcia noapic noauto noapm" on boot. And I get a little bit further_ syslog.info klogd: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 syslog.info klogd: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] user.notice hd-detect: Starting PCMCIA services: Ysing /lib/modules/2.4.22-1-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: No Plug & Play device found user.notice hd-detect: using yenta_socket instead of i82365 syslog.info klogd: Intel PCIC probe: not fouund. syslog.info klogd: PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 02:0f.0 syslog.info k and hangs hard once again. Going to try new installer
