Ok, so here goes, managed to get it to boot w/o pcmcia enabled, if I
'modprobe i82365' I get a kernel panic, and have to reboot, if I
'insmod i82365' I get the following:
max:/lib/modules/2.2.20/pcmcia# insmod i82365
Using /lib/modules/2.2.20/pcmcia/i82365.o
/lib/modules/2.2.20/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol
pci_set_power_state...so on and so forth for about ten lines of
unresolved symbols
Then theres a disclaimer about non GPL drivers, and to contact the
vendor. Ok, so I assume that there's a module not yet loaded, and do
an 'insmod pcmcia_core' and another kernel panic.......
So, I guess, where do I go from here? a linux machine without a network
connection is fairly useless, IMHO, is there some other order I need to
use to load pcmcia support or something? The part that really gets on
my nerves, is that pcmcia works FINE with the installer, and worked FINE
on the first boot after install.....
