Since this message seems to have been passed up, I'll post it again. ;)

I'm trying to install Mandrake 7 onto my laptop through an IDE PCMCIA CD
drive. Unfortunately, while using the PCMCIA bootdisk, the card manager
seems to initialize the interface just fine, but fails to map it to the CD
drive correctly. The following output is produced:

<30>Feb 8 17:01:48 cardmgr[17]: initializing socket 0
<30>Feb 8 17:01:48 cardmgr[17]: socket 0: ATA/IDE Fixed Disk

<30>Feb 8 17:01:48 cardmgr[17]: +   actions: start check stop suspend resume
<30>Feb 8 17:01:48 cardmgr[17]: start cmd exited with status 1

Granted, I can do an install by copying all of the RPMs and such over to the
HD and then going that way, but that's a terrible waste of space for
installation, considering it's only a 2.1g HD! Is there anything I can do,
save this? This looks like it might be a problem that'll pop up even after I
get things running, if I ever do.

Please help (for the second day in a row)! :D

Thanks.
