Hello
My laptop is a new one from Asus, an L5D with an Athlon 64 3000+. It is
built with the nVidia chipset
for Athlon 64. On it, I installed SuSE 9.0 pro 64 bits upgraded from YOU
and SuSE 9.1 pro 64 bits
updated from YOU too. Before this Asus laptop, it was a Samsung A10
(2002) with a Slackware 8.1 + 9.0,
a Sager Nautile S100 (1999) with Slackware 8.0 and an AST Ascentia 900N
(1994) with Slackware
3.1. Since 2000, I have been using the SuSE at work. This is the first
time I want to use SuSE for my
own use on laptop. 64 bits => SuSE AMD64 !
I detected severals problems with PCMCIA card (SuSE 9.0 and 9.1), USB
memory stick (SuSE 9.1) and
JRE for Mozilla 64 bits (SuSE 9.0 and 9.1).
- about PCMCIA :
I have to PCMCIA cards : an Hayes Optima 288 modem and a Netgear
ethernet card FA411 (16 bits).
They are well recognized on my previous laptops with Slackware and they
work perfectly. On my
new laptop Asus with SuSE, none of them are recognized. With "cardctl
config", I can only see that
there is a card in a slot. That's all !!!! During boot or after boot,
this is the same thing. The pcmcia_core
is well loaded a boot, used by the modules ds and yenta_socket. I can't
explain what happens. Who can
see how to solve this problem ? I could see that I am not alone with
such a problem :

These are the same messages I got during boot with an inserted card :
"cs : unable to map card memory!"
And this is with the same laptop !!!!!!!!!!!
Is it due to hardware or a bad config done by SuSE ?
