Summary: Mandrake 9.1 beta 3 installation fails during PCMCIA
hardware detection on Compaq Evo N1015v laptop
Version: 1.779
Platform: PC
URL: http://www.sunpoint.net/~jhero/HPIM0182.JPG
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2

ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 beta 3 (dated 31.1.2003 17:30:28) to my
Compaq EVO N1015v laptop. During the very beginning of the installation, the
installation program seems to hang when enabling PCMCIA extension cards. The
exact error message is "Bank 3: b40000000000083b at 00000001fc0003c8 Kernel
panic: Unable to continue". (Screenshot available at
http://www.sunpoint.net/~jhero/HPIM0182.JPG).
Unfortunately I cannot access the log or kernel messages by pressing Alt-F3 or
Alt-F4, because the whole system seems to hang and does not respond to any keys
pressed.
Compaq EVO N1015v has AMD Athlon Mobile XP 1500+, 256 Mb of RAM, ATI Mobility U1
display adapter, 20 Mb Fujitsu hard disk, Integrated network adapter (Windows XP
recognizes as Realtek RTL8139 C+), and Winmodem (Conexant Intl HSFi V92 Mini
PCI). I have also 3Com wireless card 3CRWE62092A connected to PCMCIA slot. It
does not seem to help if I remove PCMCIA card before the installation.
I tried to install both, in expert and in normal mode, but it does not seem to
make any difference.
I also tried to install Mandrake Linux 9.1 beta 3 from the same cd to my desktop
PC, and it seems to go just fine (in that sense, there should not be anything
wrong on the installation cd).
