PCMCIA Problems in SuSE 6.0

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 6.0

Symptom:

By updating from SuSE Linux 5.3 to SuSE Linux 6.0 or even with a new installation of SuSE Linux 6.0, you are having problems with the PCMCIA Card Manager. When booting from SuSE 6.0, the computer hangs, even though it worked fine in SuSE 5.3.

Reason:

The new card manager in SuSE Linux 6.0 does not work with some hardware.

Solution:

When installing, pay attention not to install the "pcmcia" package from the series "A". After the installation you could use YaST or RPM to install the old version from the "unsorted" directory on CD 1.

mount /cdrom
cd /cdrom/unsorted
rpm -Uvh pcmcia-3.0.4-14.i386.rpm
cd /
umount /cdrom

Afterwards you will need to restart your computer (shutdown -r now).

If you do not have a CD-ROM drive on your laptop, you can also copy the file described above onto a diskette and install from there.
