satelliteuser083 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Have just read in "http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/cardmgr-to-pcmciautils.html" that a prerequisite for the correct operation of "pccardctl" is kernel 2.6.13-rc1 or newer; mine is vmlinuz-2.6.12-12mdk (mva2006). Are we wasting our time with this version and wouldn't it be easier to just update to, say, mva2008? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 OK, that explains it. If it were my system, I would update it to 2008. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteuser083 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Well, I took your advice, Greg, and installed 2008 (with only a few problems), and pcmcia hot-swap now works. Thanks. Interestingly, I've been experimenting with the hot-swap and have discovered that, if I exchange the two pcmcia-cards, the system automatically remounts hde1 (external hdd) but, when it attempts to remount the zip-drive, this fails with the message mount: you must specify the filesystem type and I have to mount it manually (using KFreeDisk). Strange? :huh: Anyway, problem solved. Thanks to all who helped. :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
