Good idea Scott. Thanks. I'll try that on Monday.

Probably not the best solution, if even possible, but can you disable 
pcmcia in the bios?

Errr, if I'm booting from cdrom, how do I blacklist modules?

At the moment I'm looking at exploding the ISO image onto disk,
finding and deleting the cd module and then burning a new cdrom,
but I only want to go down that path if I *know* I can get it right
first time.

You need to blacklist the module. I found the following reference that 
may help:

[SLUG] Gutsy cdrom boot problems.

2007-10-18 Thread Erik de Castro Lopo
Hi all,

I'm trying to boot a machine with the Gutsy boot cdrom and it hangs.
The last line is:

cs: IO port probe 0x820-0x8ff:

It seems the "cs" is pcmcia related but I've tried booting with 
"nopcmcia" and "pcmcia=off" but neither helped.

Anyone have any idea hot I can boot and avoid this cd driver?

Cheers,
Erik
