Got a weird one.

If I boot into SuSE6.3 and let it fire up the /sbin/init.d/pcmcia script at startup, my system totally hangs. Hangs, meaning no keyboard, no mouse, no lan nothing. Below is the text at boot time during this event.

. . . PCMCIA: Starting services: cardmgr[62]: starting, version is 3.1.3 PCMCIA: cardmanager is running cardmgr[62]: watching 2 sockets cardmgr[62]: initializing socket 0 cardmgr[62]: socket 0: Linksys EtherFast 10/100 cardmgr[62]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.13/pcmcia/cb_enabler.o' cardmgr[62]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.2.13/pcmcia/tulip-old_cb.o'

At this point hang.

If I take the Linksys card out at boot time, the system boots up. However as soon as I plug the card back in, the system initiates the pcmcia driver for the Linksys card, I get the two pcmcia beeps and then the system again immediately hangs.

However if I disable /sbin/init.d/pcmcia and then boot to run level 2. Then I manually run /sbin/init.d/pcmcia at run level2, then I execute an 'init 1' followed by an 'init 2', all works fine.

I am also running dhcp client, and this is on an HP Omnibook PIII 600MHz.

Have a look at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/mneden_6.3_pcmcia-start.html that should fix it.
