I am attempting to install Debian onto a Sony VAIO PCG-C1F. This computer has only a USB floppy drive and a PCMCIA 3Com 3c589c card. I got the correct USB floppy rescue, root and driver disks from http://www-user.rhrk.uni-kl.de/~blochedu/usb-install/ as specified in the installation manual.
I am able to do the inital base network install but when the computer reboots I lose PCMCIA support. The error that I get returned is: 3c589_cs: Card Services release does not match! Because I am without network connectivity I am unable to complete the rest of the install to add the tools neccessary to recompile my kernel and card services. My question is what files do I need to download and copy over via NFS during the inital base install in order to be able to recompile my kernel. As I said before I can only get as far as the base install which takes up about 87MB. This doesn't include gcc, make or any of that other fun stuff. I am a regular FreeBSD and Slowaris user but this is the first time that I've touched Linux in the past couple of years. I am using it because it has more hardware support for this model of computer that I'm using. Thanks for the help! -CM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
