It continues to fail in exactly the same way as the 2.4.18-586tsc did. During boot, the bit that smells like the root of the problem goes something like this: i82365 Loading i82365 ... Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Intel PCIC probe: not found. unloading Kernel card services (I remember seeing the first two lines go by during boot, the rest is out of dmesg). Are there command-line options I should be passing to the i82365 module? Should I be trying a different kernel version? What are the chances that compiling my own kernel will make a difference? In short, what do I try next? If this is addressed somewhere, pointers to relevant docs will be gratefully accepted. BTW, the reason why I don't just stick with the 2.2.20 kernel which works is that I've read that the ipmasq implementation has been substantially improved in the 2.4 kernels. If this is not true and I'm barking up the wrong tree, feel free to point that out.
