Hi,
I recently had to get the system board on my Inspiron 3000 replaced.
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 (thanks
again!), 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?
Thanks!
