Scuzz29 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Turn on ACPI in your bootloader(LILO or GRUB) if its disabled then it should boot just fine i had the same problem with 9.2 , I didnt have to do anything else other then that.

redd77 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I'm new to Linux and I have just installed Mandrake 9.2 on my laptop. I'm having the same problem where linux hangs at loading pcmcia. I'm certain I can fix the problem but when I choose verbose and interactive mode the keyboard stops working. I tried plugging a keyboard into the ps/2 port and had the same thing happen. Any ideas about what is happening? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redd77 Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I found a simple fix for the problem. I installed Mandrake 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I just installed 9.2 and had the EXACT problem. While I had no idea what it was, I ejected my pcmcia modem and tried again. Same results. I went into the BIOS to disable the pcmcia and found I had a few settings for it. It was set to "auto select". So I changed it to PC Card 16-bit, and gave that a shot...and whammo! She booted just fine and loaded up my drivers for my modem as well. Weird... So see if you can change the settings of the pc card slot in your bios, it might work.
