Does anyone know what configuration file controls the start order for the services in the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d folders? Specifically, which file resets the order to the SuSe defaults if the order has been modified? I know how to disable SuSeconfig, but at this point I am not interested in that. I simply want SuSeconfig to stop changing the startup order of the PCMCIA service. With Mandrake and Redhat once I changed the startup order so that PCMCIA started before network I *never* had to worry about Redhat's up2date or the Mandrake update utility changing it back. SuSeconfig on the other hand insists on setting PCMCIA to S08pcmcia which comes after S05network. I set pcmcia to be S04pcmcia so it starts before network. This insures that I always get a network connection no matter what network I am connecting to. I realize that hotplugger is supposed to start pcmcia but it is simply unreliable when it comes to pcmcia cards. I should note however, it works fine with USB devices. Before I changed the boot order so that PCMCIA would start first I would not get a network connection when first booted up. This because when the network is set to start first and the only connection to the network is a wireless pcmcia card, that hasn't started yet, you can't get an DHCP assigned ipaddress. So if someone can tell me which file I can modify so the startup order of PCMCIA won't be reset when yast or YOU is run I would be grateful.

config info is included in each script as a kind of header. e.g. # /etc/init.d/pcmcia # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: pcmcia # Required-Start: $syslog # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start: network hotplug # Required-Stop: $syslog # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 5 # Default-Stop: # Description: Loads pcmcia base modules and starts cardmgr ### END INIT INFO

remove "network" from /etc/rc.d/pcmcia # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start: network <-- TO REMOVE and I think you could add to /etc/rc.d/network # X-UnitedLinux-Should-Start: pcmcia --> TO ADD then check if ok in yast Happy New Year, -- Marek Chlopek

None. Read the "suse boot concept" chapter on the admin book. Also in "man init.d". Order is calculated from the "Required-Start" header. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Wrong! Had you followed the whole thread, you would have seen that even manipulating the required starts for the desired services does not suffice to get pcmcia started before network. Don't speculate, try it. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

That is not the question I was answering. He asked if there is a single file defining the order of init script, and I answered that there is no such thing and where it is documented. What you are acusing me of not having read was posted by Chuck after I posted the above lines; these are the time stamps from the SuSE qmail server: I posted: 1 Jan 2004 21:41:44 -0000 He posted: 1 Jan 2004 22:10:15 -0000 Don't be so fast blaming people.

No, I'm not the one that need to do those changes. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
