Aren't there some kernel messages preceding this? If the kernel hasn't managed to find the socket hardware, then the cardmgr doesn't stand a chance. For example: kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.5 kernel: kernel build: 2.0.34 #1 Tue Dec 1 23:20:37 GMT 1998 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] kernel: Intel PCIC probe: kernel: TI 1220 CardBus at mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets kernel: host opts [0]: [pwr save] [serial pci & irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 32/34] kernel: host opts [1]: [pwr save] [serial pci & irq] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [bus 35/37] kernel: ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,11 status change on irq 11 cardmgr[174]: starting, version is 3.0.5 cardmgr[174]: watching 2 sockets Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
