It totally depends on your PCMCIA adapter. Some do everything fine, even if you're (un)plugging the CF itself. Some are fine if you're just (un)plugging the PCMCIA card. Some are totally h0rked (but a subset of those are probably fixable). I'd recommend filing a bug with as much information you can glean about the PCMCIA/CF adaper as possible. Quick thing you can try - boot with it unplugged, run hal-device-manager, plug it in and see what happens. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ "Have you ever kissed a girl?" - Bryan Cantrill to Dave Miller -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
