Hi,

I have a Toshiba Satellite 4070 CDS, wich works just fine with my
distribution, Red Hat 6.1( I wanted Debian Potato but i could not have
it on cdrom nor ftp).

Anyway, I had pcmcia working, for a day or two on wich I could not test
my 3com 3c589 (Megahertz) ethernet card. But I know (think) that pcmcia
was working because I heard the beep (only one hi beep).

On the next day, my machine locks up on startup. No ctrl-alt-del, no
nothing. I hard-rebooted, and entered the interactive startup. I said no
to pcmcia and when logged in I changed /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia to have 
pcmcia=no.

Next, I rebooted, and, as one could expect, the bootup process ran
trough the end without locking up. But there is no pcmcia.

I ran the ./configure make all make install thing on the latest
pcmcia-cs package, turn pcmcia=yes again and rebooted. And it still
locks up my machnie on startup.

The modem is a winmodem, so I need desperatly pcmcia. Not to mention
that it is a shame to have a nice new Linux system, that hasn't pcmcia
working... :-)

Any clues how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
