Dell Latitude CPi D300XT 128MB Ram PII 300Mhz
lilo.conf
vga=1
append="apm=on"
default=Linux22
# kernel 2.4.12
image=/vmlinuz
initrd=/boot/initrd
label=LinuxNew
read-only
# kernel 2.4.10
image=/vmlinuz.old
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.10-686
label=LinuxOld
read-only
# kernel 2.2.18pre
image=/vmlinuz.2.2
label=Linux22
read-only
Well, shoot. I cleaned up my lilo.conf, found a
mistake when going over it this time and presto, the
2.4.12 kernel booted and the modules loaded but not
pcmcia. Well, I take that back, the pcmcia_core module
loaded, but not the module for my pcmcia NIC.
In fact, here are the modules loaded by 2.2.18pre21
af_packet
xirc2ps_cs
serial_cs
ds
i82365
pcmcia_core
serial
nfs
lockd
sunrpc
smbfs
vfat
unix
And here are the modules loaded by 2.4.12
pcmcia_core
nfs
lockd
sunrpc
smbfs
vfat
fat
rtc
unix
ide-disk
ide-probe-mod
ide-mod
ext2
I tried to insmod i82365.o from
/lib/modules/2.4.12-686/pcmcia and got "i82365.o:
unresolved symbol isapnp_find_dev_R7651deff" . I got
similar messages when try to load the other missing
modules.
