RE: Disabling PCMCIA at the boot prompt



if you want to totally disable pcmcia support, and detection, do
 
update-rc.d -f pcmcia remove
 
It will remove /etc/rc*.D/{S/K}*pcmcia links, which will prevent pcmcia related programs to be loaded at boot, unloaded when you shutdown.
 
You might want to only remove those links for runlevel 2, for instance, and use runlevel 3 the day you get a pcmcia card.

Subject: Disabling PCMCIA at the boot prompt

Hello
 
I am looking how is it possible to disable the PCMCIA support at the boot prompt. I know there is some options (parameters) avalaible, before loading linux but I don't known them or where to find them.
 
That's because while I try to install the woody on my gericom Webgin per4mance, the installation blocks on the detection of the pcmcia card (at the reboot during the installation). As I don't have any pcmcia card I don't need the pcmcia support.
 
Thanks
