-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey All,
<knew I should have had my wife do her install at InstallFest> My wife has a Toshiba Satellite 2515CDS laptop. The specs are that it is a Pentium II 233MHz machine with 96Mb RAM and a 4.1Gb HD. The machine has USB and she's using my old 3Com CardBus NIC for Ethernet. She decided to take the plunge and blow away Windows on this machine in favour of SuSE (another convert for Marcel). As I've already done several SuSE installs I figured this one would be okay. I looked up this model of laptop and as with most Toshiba's I found it was supported. So we went through the install, nothing out of the ordinary, it seemed to go in as we expected. Upon final reboot it hung at "Starting kernel PCMCIA". I know that the NIC card worked with Mandrake and I believe it worked just fine under an earlier version of SuSE. Just to be sure however, we removed the card and tried a reboot. Same result. FYI, the NIC works perfectly fine under Windows. I did a more in-depth Google search this time and found that on some Toshibas the PCMCIA conflicts with the mouse. I'm not sure why this didn't come up during the install (or my previous search). At any rate, I don't know how to get past this and check any logs. The help I found was for a Red Hat install and when I looked on my laptop for the files to edit I couldn't find them. SuSE must have them somewhere else. Anyone encountered anything like this? There are about 17 or so more things that occur after PCMCIA module is supposed to load. S�bastien recommended throwing the install CD-ROM and escaping the install somehow and then checking the logs. I was not overly sure how to do that. Thanks, - -- Jarrod GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBPkmEJwCQFPa+bt49AQKANQP/W1rceaBuT284UFycniOTRCr/spCqk+bb Q8iEXGQTFy/yNJXtZnxTpsztwK0+SXWxMR1YEikt4ZwODhwvghvq3NyO1LRXfFcp FWmLXOCNRv1MKo5zKzyXUbM9usQ873jYHgYJC8qfoV4TsAckd0XgRzV9j+ePveY9 1My3kFKbLCo= =qN0i -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
