I'm running a Sony Z505S laptop with Mandrake 7.0. I've got a new
digital camera with a compact flash (CF) memory card (formatted as a DOS
fs), but am having trouble configuring the laptop to accept the card.
The symptom is a complete system lockup when the card is inserted into
the pcmcia slot; seems to require pulling the battery to get the system
back. I've made a couple of stabs at configuring cardmgr and one or two
loadable modules, but I've not used the pcmcia slot until now so I'm not
sure what is required. The lockup happens without anything being logged
to /var/log/messages.
Does anyone have some suggestions for a configuration, for a
troubleshooting strategy, or for the right place to get info?
TIA
- Tom
