Ok. So, since I built my 2.4.18 in /root/linux, I would need to move that into /usr/src? Then since the originasl pcmcia-cs was an rpm, I need to remove that rpm and install the pcmcia-cs tarball in /usr/src and then have it build modules for the different kernels from there? Sorry, I feel real

Well that bites. If I understand it all correctly then I can only have pcmcia-cs used on one kernel, no matter how many kernels revs I have on my machine. That means each time I want to use a different kernel on my system I have to uninstall and reinstall pcmcia-cs? Seems there must be a way. O

You can't do that. You must rebuild pcmcia-cs for each kernel that you use. See http://pcmcia-cs.sf.net --- Vern W Heesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'll have to see if I can figure out why, but the kernel modules do > not seem > to work while the pcmcia-cs modules do. > I'm going to try ren

I'll have to see if I can figure out why, but the kernel modules do not seem to work while the pcmcia-cs modules do. I'm going to try renaming /lib/modules/2.4.8 and then remove pcmcia-cs and then install pcmcia-cs to the 2.4.18 kernel, rename 2.4.8 back to normal and see if it kept all the mod

THe key thing to remember with pcmcia-cs is that its nothing more than a few binaries (which are not kernel version dependent), and some modules, which are kernel version dependent. The modules are functionally, no different than any other kernel module that you'd use. --- Bill Campbell <[EMAI

Suddenly, I am getting shadows on my screen. In a xterm window, each line with text has a faint dark band going across the entire line. This also appears in html documents while web surfing. I have played with my monitor settings, but the lines won't go away. Question? Is this failing hardware?

I need advice on what to do. I use mandrake 8.1 and it appears on install of mandrake that it applied pcmcia modules from the pcmcia-cs rpm into /lib/modules/2.4.8. I have now built the 2.4.18 kernel and need to know how I can apply the pcmcia-cs rpm to get the modules into /lib/modules/2.4.18.
