Yenta_socket???? What is that?
A yenta is a match maker. And if you want to stick your little thingy into the little hole, such a thing is needed, no? :)
Specifically, it's a driver for several types of PCMCIA cards. One table that shows what it handles is at

I also was advised by SuSE (San Francisco) to try typing "nopcmcia=1" as the boot option at start up. That did not help. I also tried this in "safe" mode. That also did not help. In both cases SuSE still hung at "Starting PCMCIA."
Did you try "NOHOTPLUG=1"?
Anders, thanks for reply. Unfortunately "nohotplug=1" did not help in either regular or "safe" mode. Still hangs at "Starting PCMCIA." However, this time I observed an additional item in both cases (I don't know if this was there previously or if it's only now appeared with the new "nohotplug=1" boot option). The shutdown line I just noticed says "Module PCMCIA core is in use." And as for yenta=match-maker. ;o) Wife and I are rolling on the floor laughing. Even in Scandanavia you have yentas??? ;o) Gil
