    Hi,

    7 months ago I installed SuSE-8.1 on the same Laptop without
    problem. Installation cardbus Xircom and Usb connections: no problem.

    Last Sunday I tried with knowers to install Debian Woody with a 2.4
    kernel: impossible to install the network and PCMCIA interfaces
    because Woody Debian did not have xircom_tulip_cb kernel module. No
    problem to initiate internet connection with Knoppix (how I found the
    needed kernel module).

    This morning I wanted to install SuSE-8.2 on the same Laptop (already
    did it on a box with 2000Gb Athlon-AMD): problems, problems, problems
    much alike the one I had with Woody Debian.

    At first reboot:

    It get stucked when trying to start the kernel pcmcia (solved when
    removing the cardbus)
    Impossible to mount an usb mass-storage device: everything get stucked
    when I type "mount /media/sda1", no messages, it get stucked
    Windows-like -> hard shutdown.
    Sometimes at boot I have "resource manager failed".
    eth-pcmcia is OK
    activating usb-devices: OK

    I only managed to boot the installed system by launching it from nr 1
    install CDRom.

    What could be the problem? Sudden lack of the right kernel modules
    with the last kernels?
