[Fwd: [gentoo-user] installation woes]

[cory]

Well, I've all but solved it.  In /etc/init.d/pcmcia it says:

if [ -z `fgrep "ds " /proc/modules | head -1 | cut -c1` ]; then
        /sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core $CORE_OPTS 2> /dev/null
        /sbin/modprobe $PCIC $PCIC_OPTS 2> /dev/null
        /sbin/modprobe ds
fi
Somewhere I read that module i82365 may be needed for pcmcia, and for my 
systen it is.  o, by modprobe-ing i82365  before ds fixed it.  However, 
I didn't think hacking the init.d/pcmcia script was a good fix, so I 
took that back out and added i82365 to /etc/modules.autoload.  This also 
worked.  This is something I can live with, but that doesn't necessarily 
make it right.

I posted this as an FYI and to ask if the fact that I had to do all this 
work is an indication of a bad load?

Well I'm a little closer.  /etc/init.d/pcmcia start fails on bootup, but
   if modprobe i82365 and ds, and run cardmgr then things work fine.  Any
ideas on what I'm missing to get it to autostart?
Thanks,

        I've spent the last day working through a stage 1 install on an IBM
Thinkpad T22.  The install seems OK so far, except for pcmcia.  For some
reason pcmcia fails on startup.
"/etc/init.d/pcmcia start" returns:
/lib/modules/2.4.20-gentoo-r1/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not
permitted
cardmgr[pid]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices

"modprobe ds"  returns similar error messages

I suspect my problem lies with my kernel configuration.  I'm not sure
how to compile the kernel so that the necessary support is there, but
not too much to keep pcmcia-cs from running correctly.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Cory
