While I've never tried to install Linux on a Casio, I would see if PCMCIA can be disabled in the BIOS.

I have a casio fiva subnotebook and I tried installing Redhat 7.0 and Mandrake without much success. Mandrake starts installing until it scans the PCMCIA, then it hangs. Redhat installs completely. Then once it starts to load, upon checking the pcmcia it spews out a lot of garble and stops loading. It asks me to repair it ... but... ^_^ My question.. is there a way of disabling pcmcia on linux install or run? Has anyone ever install linux on a Casio fiva? thanks... _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
