    I recently formatted and installed RH 9 after having used RH 8 for a while.
    Under 8, my PCMCIA slots worked fine, and I used a 3COM Etherlink III for
    network access since the TP 760 is too old to have a built-in NIC. At any
    rate, when I installed 9, my PCMCIA slots stopped working, either with this
    card or another one I have. I know this much:

     

    The slots pass the on-board tests, and the cards work in another machine.

     

    PCMCIA service is stopped, though it is set to start on boot, and when I
    tried to start it I get a lot of errors and it doesn’t work. The error
    reads “/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o:
    init_module: No such device”.

     

    I’ve tried using the cardctl command but I get the “no pcmcia driver in
    /proc/devices/”

     

    Hardware browser reads the PCMCIA as manufactured by Texas Instruments and
    driver as yenta_socket.

     

    I’ve checked the pcmcia file in /etc/sysconfig and it reads:

     

    PCMCIA=yes

    PCIC=i82365

    PCIC_OPTS=

    CORE_OPTS=

     

    On boot, I get the error as follows. (It used to say “Please try
    pci=biosirq” but using this only made that part of the error message go
    away)

     

    PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:02.0
    PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:02.0

     

     

    This problem is very frustrating, as my access to the network (and thus, the
    Internet) depends on the use of the PCMCIA slots. It happens every time I
    boot, without exception. I’ve tried looking around the net for solutions,
    but haven’t found any that work.

     

    Thanks for any help.
