Hi,
Last weekend I installed the 8.2 download edition. In general I am
impressed. However, I can't install on my wife's machine until the
following shutdown issue is addressed: I get a kernel panic when
cardmgr tries to shut down.
My machine is a Sony Vaio F-340, and the card in question is a BusLink
wireless network card (uses the ray_cs driver). The desktop machine
which I haven't tried yet has a similar card, WebGear Aviator
PRO. Both cards and both machines work fine with Mandrake 8.1, except
that (for both 8.1 and 8.2) I had to manually change the essid in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts despite setting it during installation.
My kernel panic looks like this:
---------
[root@grover root]# service pcmcia stop
Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgrUnable to handle kernel paging request at

---------
I get the same thing when doing just "cardctl eject." But if I take
the card out manually, the drivers clean themselves up just fine.
If there's anything I can do to help track this down please let me
know. I'd like to see this addressed in updates or at least have a way
to hack the scripts to work around it so that my wife can start
using some of the new features of 8.2 on her machine.
Thanks for an otherwise great distro,
Aaron Peromsik
