Guest cat Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 hi guys. i'm very new to linux, i only installed mandrake 10.1 a few hours ago (on a toshiba satellite 4080xcdt laptop). during install it seemed to detect the pcmcia network card (3com megahertz 10/100 lan+56k modem) fine but when it rebooted at the end of the install and every time i boot since i get: bringing up ethernet eth0: /bin/true [FAILED] 3c574_cs device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization. i double checked to make sure the card was still locked in place and tried a couple of the fixes posted here for people having similar problems (configuring it to use a static ip and checking force no apic in bootloader) but still haven't had any luck getting it working.

DragonMage Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 There is a bug in Mandrake installation that it forgots to load yenta_socket during installation. Hence, no pcmcia will run at all. Put this line into /etc/modprobe.preload file. yenta_socket And then try rebooting. I mean, that card should load. I have it for my Toshiba laptop to replace the broken network jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
