Hi Folks, I'm at the end of my tether with this thing :-))

Having been through (and through and through) the PCMCIA howto untold
times and Googled for hours, I'm no further ahead in getting this thing
to stick on a stock Mdk9.1 install

The problem is getting the modules to load at boot, I can get the card
recognised _only_ by modprobing ds, serial_cs and yenta_socket as root
after the laptop as booted.

I've always been under the impression that adding module names to
/etc/modules would cause them to be installed at boot time

I know I'm missing something really simple here but I'm dammed if I can
see what it is.

/etc/modules as follows:

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.

yenta_socket
pcmcia_core
serial_cs
ds
scsi_hostadapter
======

/etc/pcmcia/pcmcia

# /etc/pcmcia/pcmcia
#
PCMCIA=YES
PCIC=i82365
======

/etc/modules.conf

# /etc/modules.conf
#
alias tap0 ethertap
options tap0 -o tap0 unit=0
probeall scsi_hostadapter usb-storage ide-scsi
alias eth0 bcm4400
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
probeall usb-interface usb-uhci ehci-hcd
alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394
above snd-intel8x0 snd-pcm-oss

Any and all help , assistance, pointers  and even brickbats gratefully
received ...

Cheers

John
