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.
