RE: [newbie] pcmcia thwarting install and run -- can disable?

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

Subject: [newbie] pcmcia thwarting install and run -- can disable?


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...

I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and the solution is 
acced to the bios setup menu (you know, starting the computer use F1 or 
Del or the key appropriate for your computer) and dissable the 
automatic configuration of PCMCIA in your notebook. Now my laptop runs 
Mandrake 7.2 fine and look pretty.
