hello all,
trying to install Mandrake 7.2 on my Sony 505FX. I
couldn't get the CD to recognize the CDROM drive it
was booting off of at first (Sony CD5, pcmcia card)
until I found the 'ide2 = 0x180,0x386' voodoo.
now I'm at a different impass. the CD boots fine
and finds the second stage ramdisk, but insists on
starting up pcmcia services during the 'looking for
hard drives' portion of the install. This would be
great except that the install freezes at this point,
never to return. I remember an option on Mandrake 7.0
which would disable pcmcia during installation, this
would solve my problem!
Is there any way to use this option in the current
release? Or another way workaround the problem?
all thoughts appreciated,
chris seaman

I haven't had this problem, but my first thought is can
you turn your pcmcia off in the BIOS settings?
