Installation went unexpectedly smooth, but upon first boot, the computer freezes at starting PCMCIA. Of course the laptop came with factory installed XP, so I had to shrink the NTFS partition. I did that using Knoppix 4.0 and upon the first attempt to boot knoppix, the same thing happened, it got stuck at starting PCMCIA. In Knoppix there was the "nopcmcia" option to boot without, and so I managed to get in, but I tried that in FC4 and it's still trying to start PCMCIA. Is there a kernel option to avoid starting PCMCIA upon boot? Otherwise, I'll probably have to boot the rescue cd, chkconfig, etc. </blockquote><div> thats correct boot ur system in single user mode then run #chkconfig pcmcia off and then # init 5 or reboot regards </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Thanks! -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com"> fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- Rajkumar Adsule (RHCT) Mobile: 93223 42656
