Hello, on Dec 22 I posted here the message pasted below. None of the suggestion worked, including upgrading to the latest psyche kernel. Adding append="pci=biosirq" to lilo.conf only causes a kernel panic. Eventually I submitted the problem to Dave Hinds, the pcmcia-cs maintainer. This is his answer: >The PCI errors are due to a bug/limitation in the kernel PCI subsystem >that is pretty much fatal for PCMCIA. The pcibios suggestion is >rarely useful. You have a few options: >- delete the kernel PCMCIA driver modules and install the pcmcia-cs > standalone modules. >- try installing a 2.2.20 kernel and then the pcmcia-cs package; I'm > not sure if that will cause compatibility issues with RH 8.0 >- install an older RH release with a pre-2.4 kernel. >- try a current 2.5 kernel with ACPI support enabled. > >I'm not sure which of these are most likely to help. None of them are >trivial for a relative newcomer to linux, unfortunately. As far as I understand, the first solution is the one less different from a standard psyche install, so I'd like to go with that one. How do I do it, however? What should I read/do? Is is only recompiling the kernel (with which options?)?
