Read back on some of the recent (<7 days) problems people have had
involving pcmcia and 2.4.17. I have been there myself until recently.
Arrghh! This happens every time I bring my laptop home. I've been
fighting this for two weeks or more, and when I picked up my mail
yesterday, none of those messages came down. When I check today,
there's my post and all those others about pcmcia & 2.4.17!
What I have seen so far is this:
I can install a kernel-image OK.
When I try to install a modules-pcmcia package I get hit with various
errors:
Unlike you, I've never had any sucess with pcmcia anyway, so I use the
kernel drivers. More annoying than anything else, today PCMCIA is
working and I'm still getting the IRQ conflict errors. I did recompile
the kernel again with a config more closely based on the working 2.4.16
kernel, but I'll be d****d if I know what made the difference.
