Sorry for the second email, but here's a quick follow up after some more
investigating....
It seems as if the PCMCIA got screwed up somehow. I am getting a "no pcmcia
driver in /proc/devices" message at startup, as well as this from dmesg:
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.25
kernel build: 2.4.3-20mdk #1 Sun Apr 15 23:03:10 CEST 2001
options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel PCIC probe: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:03.0
PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:03.1
PCI: The same IRQ used for device 00:07.2
Bad bridge mapping at 0x13ff0000!
not found.
ds: no socket drivers loaded!
Perhaps these messages are related to the problem? Again, I really
appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks again,
Arun
