I am running Mandrake 8.1 and am attempting to install a Xircom combo Modem/Network Card: Xircom "RBEM56G-100BTX"
[According to http://www.xircom.com/cda/page/0,1298,0-0-1_20-476,00.html this uses the Linux driver "XIRC2PS_CS" (see also http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ ] With the computer (new Dell Inspiron 8100) turned off I inserted the card, then rebooted the computer. The boot startup completely froze at the stage "Checking for new hardware". Here is complete log of everything from the screen: --------- Checking for new hardware [ OK ] To use Backward Compatibility with ipchains for kernel 2.4 Use: /sbin/modprobe ipchains Starting pcmcia: [ OK ] cardmgr[765]: watching 2 sockets Setting network parameters: [ OK ] Bringing up interface lo: cardmgr[765]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler' cardmgr[765]: executing: 'modprobe serial_cb' --------- [this is where it froze] Any hints what I do now? -Jerry
