Thanks for your response. The problem with that is that 2.4.20 doesn't contain all the patches required for my chipset. I can do back to a RH kernel like 2.4.20-8 and have PCMCIA but no USB, or compile 2.4.21 and get USB but no PCMCIA!
There must be a scripting/startup problem that i can work around with 2.4.21, because as i say PCMCIA works if i start manually. --- dch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 2003-07-15 at 05:35, David Mackay wrote: > > Hi Guys, > > > > I've got one of the dreaded Compaq Presario 900 > Linux > > hating laptops.
