Hi there.
I have to admit to being puzzled here, so hopefully somebody can straighten me out...
First, what system. Well, it's a 486dx4/75 based Toshiba T2110 notepad computer, 12M of RAM, and just upgraded to a 4.3G hard drive. There are two PCMCIA slots, both occupied as follows:
Q> Slot 0 = 10M Ethernet adapter. Q> Slot 1 = V90 Modem adapter.
RedHat 5.2 was NFS installed on the system, along with the updates to kernel*-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm and that works fine. Also, as long as I stay with the kernel as it comes in those rpm's, networking and the modem work fine.
However, the kernel as supplied does NOT include APM support, and on this notepad computer, I need that - and that's where the problems arise: If I compile my own kernel from kernel-source-2.0.36-3.i386.rpm after doing "make menuconfig" and enabling APM, the PCMCIA subsystem stops working !!!!!!!
Basically, I appear to have two options, neither of which comes near to being satiisfactory:
1. Run with the PCMCIA subsystem but without APM.
2. Run with APM but without the PCMCIA subsystem.
Anybody - PLEASE - tell me what I'm doing wrong!!!
Best wishes from Riley.
