Hey guys,
I can't really seem to find an answer to my problem. I'm trying to install Slackware 10.1 on a Toshiba Laptop of mine with a PCMCIA port in it. I have a wireless network card, and an ethernet card for this port. While booting off the intial installation CD (CD 1), I enter cfdisk, and setup my partitions like normal. Then I goto type "pcmcia" to tell slackware to look for my pcmcia device, but after this command is done, the installation hangs at this point:
<Probing for PICI: edit /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia> and I don't get a prompt back again. I have tried putting both cards in while running the installation scripts, as well as no cards at all, but still no success.
I have installed an earlier version of slackware on this laptop about a year ago, and the PCMCIA slot with either card works fine under windows.
Is this a known issue, or am I doing something completely off track?
Edit: also, I have used this disc to install Slackware 10.1 on my netserver, so I don't believe it is a corrupt CD.
Just thinking out loud, do I need to type 'pcmcia' before I type 'setup' to actually inform slackware of the PCMCIA presence, or if I leave my Wireless Network card, or the Ethernet Network card in, and continue on with 'setup', slackware will (if it has the drivers), automatically install it?
