That sounds like a good idea. So, what do I need to do my own custom kernel? Also, where can I get the 3c579 PCMCIA NIC module? I took a look at modconf, and that is not one of the options. Then again, I didn't see any PCMCIA opetions there. And apparently, modules aren't available for install via apt-get either. Anyway, so far, I have been able to get a bare etch system booted up with kernel 2.4.27. On my build box, everything works fine (except for an inability for modprobe to find psmouse (wtf? I thought that was pretty standard across the board) Now, when I transfer the hard drive back to one of the laptops, PCMCIA services fails to start (Can't locate module ds, whatever that is), and hotplug doesn't find it either. I have pcmcia-cs and pcmciautils installed, but apparently those are for the 2.6 kernels. What is the equivalent for 2.4? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
