Hello Guillaume, thanks for your answer. Although I tried the pcmcia.img, sthg must have been wrong with my card, since as you suggested it, I retested this image and it now works (in fact, it's the first time there's a disk that works with ths card, so I was not really surprised when it didn't work at first and I was preparing myself to do it the hard way). Well, in the meantime, as I thought the modules was also missing from the pcmcia disk, I extracted the required .o modules from the boot kernel modules and added them to the network.rdz to build a single disk that worked (which was silly, but at least I now know how to build such disk for the case where a module will really not be included in any .img :) ) So, appologies from myself, and congrats to you, since the 9.2 pcmcia disk effectively recognizes my card. Nevertheless, during the process of rebuilding a complete boot disk, I had to extract/build .mar archives. I compiled the sources from your page, but is there a RPM with prebuilt tools (I mean the tools/script that are used to build the various img and others non-rpm part of each mandrake release) ? Thanks again, and sorry for the noise on the list. Nicolas Pomarede e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In a world without walls and fences, who needs windows and gates ?

You need to use xirc2ps_cs.o from the BOOT kernel, right, not stock kernel, of course.

[Cooker] missing xirc2ps_cs.o for pcmia install of 9.2
Hello to all, I'm trying to do a network install of 9.2. I'm using a PCMIA adapter from xircom. Doing an install using the network.img or pcmia.img disk, I get an error while trying to load the required module xirc2ps_cs.o (which is not present on either disk). I tried the expert install, with an additional disk (as described in the README in the images directory for SCSI drivers) ; I formatted an ext2fs disk and copied the unzipped xirc2ps_cs.o file on it. Unfortunately, when I try to load the xirc2ps_cs.o when prompted for, it failed and I get lots of undefined symbol in ALT+F3 console (printk, strstr). I guess the problem might be caused by the fact that I extracted the xirc2ps_cs.o module from kernel-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm and not from kernel-BOOT-2.4.22.10mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm, because the xircom module is not present in the later one. I tried to copy ds.o and pcmi_core.o on the disk, but it didn't resolve the problem. So, how can I resolve this ? Is there a version of the xirc2ps_cs.o that would be compatible with the kernel used on disk image ? Or perhaps there's another way to initialize my pcmcia card ? Should I get the source for kernel-BOOT, add the xircom sources and recompile (but that would be really tedious...) ? Thanks in advance for any hint. -- Nicolas Pomarede
