Problem with kernel-pcmcia-modules and/or kernel packages?
Greetings,
I was just going to report this one as a bug, but I'm not sure which
package is in fact causing the problem. I found a few older postings by
people who'd had similar problems, but it seemed that the maintainers
of each package blamed the maintainers of the *other* package, so I
thought I'd post and see 1) if other people had seen this problem
before, 2) if anyone knew which package was causing it (and where I
should direct the bug report), and 3) if anyone who'd had this problem
had been able to solve it. I'm stumped.
Here's what happened:
1) Upgraded my old 486/75 thinkpad to woody. No problems there.
2) Installed kernel-image-2.4.18-386 (2.4.18-5), and rebooted with the
new kernel. No problem.
3) Installed the corresponding kernel-pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-386
(2.4.18-5)
3) Installed pcmcia-cs (3.1.33-6)
4) Started pcmcia services.
5) Ugliness ensues, along with these error messages:
/lib/modules/2.4.18-386/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol
isapnp_find_dev_R9991be23
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
/lib/modules/2.4.18-386/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not
permitted
I've never mucked about with the kernel pcmcia images, so I'm not sure
exactly what's happening here. One posting suggested changing the
reference to i82365.o in /etc/default/pcmcia to yenta_socket.o, but
this didn't seem to have any effect.
Ordinarily I'd just build myself a new kernel and standalone pcmcia
modules and be done with it. Unfortunately, I can't do that here: I'm
using an ancient laptop with no CD, no kernel source on the hard drive,
no compiler tools, and a pcmcia network card. There don't seem to be
any pre-built pcmcia-modules packages that match the kernel I'm using.
Fun, eh?
Any ideas or insight would be greatly appreciated.
john
