I've tried the install on the Dell laptop. A Dell Latitude, PIII 750MHz, 256MB, 3Com 3c575CT network pcmcia card.
When trying to 'Configure PCMCIA Support', selecting 'PCMCIA controller', using the i82365L or compatible selection results in a 'PCMCIA Error'. No options are specifed during the loading. This procedure works with the 2.2.20 boot disks. /var/log/messages reports: dbootstrap[138]: No /var/run/cardmgr.pid, cardmgr not needing to be stopped dbootstrap[138]: rmmod: module ds is not loaded dbootstrap[138]: rmmod: module i82365 is not loaded dbootstrap[138]: rmmod: module pcmcia_core is not loaded daemon.err insmod: insmod: /target/lib/modules/2.2.19/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o: No such file or directory //--(pcmcia directory doesn't exist in 2.2.19 directory) dbootstrap[138]: An error encountered while trying to load and configure the PCMCIA modules As a side note: the 3c575CT PCMCIA card does not work with card services in 2.4.x kernels. The 3c59x is used as the docs say that the support was moved to that driver. However, card services will not initialize the network settings. If the network settings are placed in /etc/network/interfaces under eth0, then at boot the network will come up, but if the card is removed and replaced the network is gone (of course). Does anyone know the secret to get card services to manage this network card? Also, the Dell Dimension is at my home so I will get to that install attempt tonight. (I've had troubles with the 3.0.8 disks on this box too) -Craig -----Original Message----- From: Craig Coles Sent: Friday, August 10, 2001 11:17 AM To: Adam Di Carlo; debian-testing@lists.debian.org; debian-qa@lists.debian.org Cc: debian-boot@lists.debian.org Subject: RE: woody boot-floppies 3.0.9 i386 for testing Didn't see this message until now... I will test this on a couple of boxes tonight. 3.0.8 fails on these two boxes I will be testing on.

Your testing will help us release Woody faster. Please send replies to debian-boot@lists.debian.org, not to me personally. Thanks. Here is the changelog entry: boot-floppies (3.0.9) unstable; urgency=low * David Kimdon - no free adverstising for commercial companies closes: #105492 - Update Danish dbootstrap messages thanks to Claus Hindsgaul <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * Richard Hirst - fix md5sum.txt contents for hppa - doc updates for ia64 and hppa * John H.
