Need help w/HP Pavilian

[sdf at alum.rpi.edu]

Hi,

New to Fedora, and list... Hope this is the right place for this.

I got a new HP Pavilian laptop w/XP; at long last got Fedora (Core 4) to
dual boot with Windows. Things are looking good but I still have a few
serious problems.

During the boot sequence, it will LOCK UP totally at the step "Loading
PCMCIA". If I do the "interactive boot" thing and answer 'N' at that
step and then continue, I make it to the desktop. Question 1: What is
this, how to fix? (Even if it was OK, I can't make booting such a manual
activity.)

Question 2: How get WiFi going? I'm not sure it is seeing the card right
or what... but I'll be needing the 'net.

Other than that (and the tricks & traps with the install) I'm doing OK
here at this point. The sound wasn't working before, but that seems to
have worked itself out at this point...

TIA,

Steve
