 I copied the entire (2.4 gig) Cooker to the notebook and tried and install from the

what output of cardct ident ?

Here you go -

CBEM56G, 1.03
  manfid: 0x0105, 0x0103

I have to manually run DHCPD everytime - for some strange reason.  But
the card works.

 I have used Cooker successfully up until the time that the pcmcia
 services were moved to the kernel and the mandrake install wasn't
 updated.  I was able to manually install the external PCMCIA services
 and load the card this way - I was waiting for the Mandrake install to
 catch up with the kernel (regarding pcmcia)

You mean that with 2.4.12/13 with the kernel pcmcia it works after
install but not during install ??

What is the PCMCIA driver being used ? Pretty much incredible, I don't
understand what's going on...

Chmouel,

I have the full Cooker on a desktop and use ProFTP for the install over
a 100M home net . . . In order to do the HD install, I'd have to copy
the WHOLE thing over to the notebook - or use the mkcd.pl script to cut
some CDs (but I haven't had much luck creating CDs from Cooker lately!)

I guess I could copy the Cooker over if you think it's important . . .

Let me know.

 trying to do a network install using a Xircom Cardbus Realport Ethernet
 card.
 
 Using PCMCIA.IMG  (install kernel 2.4.13-9mdkBoot), the system beeps and
 says under the logs that the PCMCIA controller is found - with on
 warning stating:  Card Services release does not match kernel (generally
 harmless)

This is inconsistent. I've disabled the beeping while I've modified the
error message to include generally harmless, so both can't happen
together... or I've really been on drugs.

 
 But the Ethernet card is not initialised and states no NET device
 found when I try the FTP install.

Means that cardmgr exits without loading any module for your pcmcia
network card. Do you have any idea why ? Does it work after install ? Is
this a PCI pcmcia network card ?

Chmouel -- apparently his network pcmcia card was correctly detected and
used in 8.1 but no more with new pcmcia of Cooker, any idea ? Is there any
known regression in support (documented ;p) ?

Right -- but the problem is that we have very limited space in stage1 and
I don't have vfat module (so you would need to insert an ext2 floppy) nor
code to dump contents to a file -- and use is quite limited since mostly
stage1 works or when it doesn't work bugs are located and reproduce here
at mandrake.

But on my todo I will just copy this log to another file and this will be
included in report.bug available when you reach graphical install. I
won't solve the problem of when you can't even reach graphical install,
thus.

Interesting that it's that particular card.  I spoke with David Hinds (PCMCIA 
kernel guy) a while back, about a different issue with that particular 
module, and he replied that the module is buggy - so there might be an issue 
there...

 Chmouel -- apparently his network pcmcia card was correctly detected and

 known regression in support (documented ;p) ?

The card is a PCMCIA Type III - Xircom Realport cardbus (Ethernet,
modem/isdn) combination (RBEM 10/100).

I have used Cooker successfully up until the time that the pcmcia
services were moved to the kernel and the mandrake install wasn't
updated.  I was able to manually install the external PCMCIA services
and load the card this way - I was waiting for the Mandrake install to
catch up with the kernel (regarding pcmcia)

The card is working fine because I have other OSs as multiboot on it
... no problem.  Last Cooker which worked previously (after installing
the external PCMCIA card services) was about two weeks ago
(kernel-2.4.12-3mdk).

Strange - because up until now, I have have had ZERO problems with the
card under Mandrake Linux (from 7.2 up to recent Cooker stuff) -
Something has changed with the module which causes this problem . . .

Uuugh.. I have a Solo 9100 - biggest mistake I ever made.. but...

 I have tried the latest Cooker install dated 26.11.01 on a Gateway Solo
 9150XL notebook (which works fine with 8.1 and previous Cookers)

 trying to do a network install using a Xircom Cardbus Realport Ethernet
 card.


 Using PCMCIA.IMG  (install kernel 2.4.13-9mdkBoot), the system beeps and
 says under the logs that the PCMCIA controller is found - with on
 warning stating:  Card Services release does not match kernel (generally
 harmless)

 But the Ethernet card is not initialised and states no NET device
 found when I try the FTP install.

 Something missing here?


I did this a few nights ago - the installer probably doesn't know that it
has to install the pcmcia-cs package.  I had exactly the same problem.
If dual boot, boot to windows, download the pcmcia-cs package, reboot to 
linux, then install it.  Messy, but works.

Better alternative - rerun the setup program, tell it it's an Expert 
Update, click to show the list of packages, manually select the pcmcia-cs 
package, and after updating with any updates since the previous install and 
installing the package, will configure the network from the parameters you 
put in to do the install.  

Works great.

 Thanks.
