Currently, I've got an OmniBook 6000 and I've tried to install my laptop,
and configure a new network settings, in adding into
/etc/pcmcia/networks.opt (or something like that, as I'm told into
documentation).
And add into the lilo, the same kernel with my new scheme. I've need to set
the append line with "SCHEME work"
And run lilo.
Finaly when I reboot my laptop and select my "new kernel" with the
configuration... and it locks.
May be I've missed something...
Any idea ?
Regards
Pascam

Can anyone provide a pointer to instruction to get SuSE 7.2 bootdisk working with a PCMCIA Network care - reading the modules from floppy is NOT on, as that is also PCMCIA and can't read anything after the bootdisk...
Bloody Toshibas !!!
Since you don't mention what machine you are doing this for, I cannot offer any specfics, but I will tell you what I did for my Omnibook 500.
Basically you need to mount the initrd image from the bootdisk as a loopback device, remove anything you do not need, (Like extra code pages and keymaps and modules), add anything you do need, (like the pcmcia modules from the other disk) and then remake the boot floppy image. See the initrd howto for more.
You can get my SuSE 7.2 bootdisk for the Omni 500 from:
http://www.dnai.com/~davidg/pub/SuSE72_bootdisk_Omni500.tar.gz
It works for the built in ethercard, not for pcmcia. But it is already stripped down and would be a good base for making your own custom disk, all you would need to do is to add your modules and get rid of mine.
