disable apic? I already have noapic in my bootloader configuration file.
Ah. And enabling it? O:-)
disable pcmcia?
This I don't understand. I do need pcmcia for my wireless card, don't I ?
Ah, sorry: I missread you. I thought you said you didn't have pcmcia.
Because it is a pcmcia module. Or insert a delay in... I forgot where, but it is mentioned in the suse sdb. I searched the suse sdb, but could not find info about delay that you are referring to. I probably did not search in the right way, but is it possible for you to be a bit more specific ? ;-)
Ugh. That's difficult. You see, as I no longer work for the company that kindly supplied me with a portable, on which I tested SuSE 7.3; it means that I also no longer have a PCMCIA ;-) I remember that on that machine (kernel 2.4.0 and .2) I had to dissable pcmcia in the kernel, and use the pcmcia package instead. I suppose that does not apply now :-) [...] Funny: acording to the sdb, there was a switch in suse 8.0 for that: PCMCIA_SYSTEM="kernel" or "external". Ok. Have a look at /etc/sysconfig/hotplug, there are some delays that can be inserted there. I have no pcmcia file there to look at, but I'm sure that if a delay was thought of, it will be configured there. And, in my local copy of the sdb, there are 38 articles about the pcmcia: have a look at them, perhaps there is something that matches. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
