Hi: I am trying to install mandrake 7 on an IBM ThinkPad 240 without a CDROM drive. I have a Mandrake 7 CD which I intend to mount at /home/ftp/pub on this Redhat 6.1 box I have nearby, and use a crossover cable to connect them. The Mandrake boot disk is having trouble loading a driver for the ethernet pcmcia card though. The following messages appear on the console prefixed with: (30)Mar 9 <the time> cardmgr[17]: intitializing socket 0 socket 0: EP-210 Ethernet executing 'insmod /tmp/pcmcia/modules/net/8390.o' + Cannot find archive member /tmp/pcmcia/modules/net/8390.o: file does not exist in archive insmod exited with status 1 executing: 'insmod /tmp/pcmcia/modules/pcnet_cs.o' + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_open + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol enthdev_init + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol ei_interrupt + /tmp/pcnet_cs.o: unresolved symbol NS8390_init insmod exited with status 0 get dev info from on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable What's really strange to me about this is that I can get this part to work with a redhat 6.0 CD. After loading a bunch of stuff across the connection, it does eventually die with some message about being unable to set the server in passive mode. But that's not the point, the point is that it can find the card and use it to download things. If anyone can tell me what to do about this, I'll do it. For example, I think I could take a working 8390.o and put it on the pcmcia floppy using this redhat box, and then maybe this would work. I'm sure I could make room by removing some unneeded pcmcia stuff if necessary. Thank in advance, Steve Salkin
