    I'm trying to install debian on a Gateway 2100 laptop. It's a really old
    machine but I'm blind and I can't afford a new one.

      It's currently running suse 7.something with kernel 2.2.18.

    I downloaded the debian installer and wrote it to a CD. I boot from the CD
    and enter a command at the boot prompt to get a serial console. Then I can
    run the installer on another machine that already has a screen reader
    installed.

    Anyway, it detects the Cirrus Logic CL 6729 chipset and tries to load the
    i82365 module. And then I get an error message saying the module failed to
    load. I opened a shell and tried to insmod the module myself and got an
    error message reproduced below:

                                                    ~ # insmod i82365
                                                                                  Usi
    ng /lib/modules/2.4.27-1-386/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/i82365.o
                                                                insmod:
    init_module:
    i82365: No such device

    When I boot suse, it does successfully load the i82365 module.
