RE: Disabling PCMCIA at the boot prompt

2002-11-07 Thread DEFFONTAINES Vincent
if you want to totally disable pcmcia support, and detection, do   update-rc.d -f pcmcia remove   It will remove /etc/rc*.D/{S/K}*pcmcia links, which will prevent pcmcia related programs to be loaded at boot, unloaded when you shutdown.   You might want to only remove those links for runleve

You probably can expect much more from 2.5.X than from 2.4.X about ACPI support. (by the way, if you want to try a 2.5, keep with 2.5.45 for now, as modules loading/unloading is being "played with" these days) Vincent > -Original Message- > From: suresh kumar sharma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTEC

Maybe this is stupid, but would you test it? Just after boot, if card doesnt work. Dont unplug it and try to run #/sbin/cardctl eject&&/sbin/cardctl insert Does it work any better after that? Vincent > -Original Message- > From: PRIOUR Gaetan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday

Boot order

2002-09-23 Thread DEFFONTAINES Vincent
Seems to me, there is something that can look incoherent in Debian boot order, as far as laptops are concerned. The trouble is when your network interface is PCMCIA, and you want to mount NFS volumes at boot time (which I agree can be considered a strange idea on a laptop...). I have in /etc/rc2.d
