Problem installing SuSE-8.2 on Laptop Toshiba Satellite 400
0CDS Reply-To: X-OS: Linux portable 2.4.10-4GB Hi, 7 months ago I installed SuSE-8.1 on the same Laptop without problem. Installation cardbus Xircom and Usb connections: no problem. Last Sunday I tried with knowers to install Debian Woody with a 2.4 kernel: impossible to install the network and PCMCIA interfaces because Woody Debian did not have xircom_tulip_cb kernel module. No problem to initiate internet connection with Knoppix (how I found the needed kernel module). This morning I wanted to install SuSE-8.2 on the same Laptop (already did it on a box with 2000Gb Athlon-AMD): problems, problems, problems much alike the one I had with Woody Debian. At first reboot: It get stucked when trying to start the kernel pcmcia (solved when removing the cardbus) Impossible to mount an usb mass-storage device: everything get stucked when I type "mount /media/sda1", no messages, it get stucked Windows-like -> hard shutdown. Sometimes at boot I have "resource manager failed". eth-pcmcia is OK activating usb-devices: OK I only managed to boot the installed system by launching it from nr 1 install CDRom. What could be the problem? Sudden lack of the right kernel modules with the last kernels? -- Alain Barthélemy cassandre@bartydeux.be http://www.bartydeux.be Linux User #315631
Problem easily solved. I took my SuSE-8.1 disks - easy installation
and no problem to boot now. Hardware scan is always very slow but the
USB device is installed without problem. SuSE-8.2 must have lacked
some necessary kernel-module.
