Re: Installation problem w/ ASUS S82000
I just had a similar problem myself. If you look in the archives for
this list for december, the last email by "dude" has a fairly detailed
answer. Basically, the system does a scan whenever it starts cardmgr.
If there is a resource conflict in the areas it scans, it will hang.
I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and tell it to exclude some
resources. Which ones I think is specific to your particular system,
on mine I had to add the line:
exclude irq 5
so it would not conflict with the sould card.
To do this, boot into the installation using the DVD-ROM, and select
the option "execute the shell". mount your harddisk with a command
like:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
(this assumes that you are using the first partition on the first IDE
drive as your root partition) Then cd /mnt/etc/pcmcia/ and use the
ae editor to change config.opts. Maybe somebody else can comment as
to which resources it would be good to exclude.
Hope this helps
