After I got it back, I could not get Linux rebooted because it was
hanging at
Starting PCMCIA services: modules
With the kind help of several people on this mailing list, I was able
to get my ethernet card working by adding the line
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mask=0x8300" to /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.
The remaining problem is with my other PCMCIA modem card which, like
the ethernet card, worked fine before the system board got replaced.
The card is not recognized. (As a check I used a different working
PCMCIA modem card from a colleague with an Inspiron and there, too,
the card was not recognized.)
The message I see in the /var/log/messages is attached below. Do I
need to play around some more with the IRQs? [SEE SOLUTION BELOW.]
Thanks!

I got my PCMCIA modem card working by changing the memory window to
0xc8000-0xcffff in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. See
http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/serial.html for
details.
********************************************************
I saw this, and solved it by setting
PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=9,11"
in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
It seems that IRQ10 (at least on the 3200 as shipped) causes problems.
These are two e-mails that have come across the list. Unfortunately, I do
not have the names of the people who posted these messages..but KUDOS to
both of them. Try one fix, then the other to see which will work for you.

Subject: Unresolved symbols when starting PCMCIA
I'm in the process of installing Redhat 5.1 on an Inpiron 3000, 266MMX,
80MB.
When I attempt to start PCMCIA with "/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start", the
system hangs after
displaying "Starting PCMCIA services: modules"
After some investigation, I modified the "insmod" commands in
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia" to add the
"-pv" switches which are said to check modules before they are loaded.
Now when I run
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start" the system reports a number of
unresolved externals as shown below.
/lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol
unregister_ss_entry
/lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol
register_ss_entry
/lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia/i82365.o: unresolved symbol CardServices
/lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia/cs.o: unresolved symbol CardServices
I then tried again with the latest kernel (2.1.124) and the latest
PCMCIA softeware (3.0.6) - same problem!
Has anyone had similar problems and, if so, what was your solution.
