Hello I just install Fedora Core 2 on my Dell Latitude CPi A400XT and everything went well, now I set up my PCMCIA on the instalation , wend it loads

pcmcia [ ok ]

I also get the following error when I'm starting up:

Start service eth0: interface 'eth0' not found
xirc2ps_cs device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization

and then later on it goes.

Start service pcmcia [ OK ]

is there anyway that I could fix this problem..

Also my Audio it detects it and I do the sond test and it plays but it does not play the .wav that comes with Fedora..

Hey,
I have exact same problem, My Dell is a slightly different model but everything
else is same (Xircom, Sound).
This is frustrating being a noob and all - who has time to learn another OS?

Hello: teggenberger
I hear that Fedora Core 1 is alot better than the second one but I don't know, what I did for know is to format my H drive again and install XP Pro, untill I have time to mess around with FC2. if you find something please let me know, FC2 loads up nice and clean, I even bougth the FC2 Bible that came out but still I couldn't fix the problem.. ok teggenberger talk to you soon.. later

The reason you are getting this message is RedHat/Fedora Core start networking before they start PCMCIA. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head how to get pcmcia to load before networking but I'm having a mental block at the mo

To get eth0 to work just run 'ifup eth0' from the command line (you may need to be root unless you have enabled all users to configure the device.

I'll get back to you hopefully later this evening with the fix you need!

My brain is still on melt down at the mo but have a look at this thread here on the hardware forum of LQ:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=140434

This is exactly what I was trying to remember!

Thanks alot - I'll check it out.
Is this:
....the same as clicking 'Activate' from the GUI?

It is indeed.

I had the exact same problem with a wireless. What I did was add
ifconfig eth0 up
in my rc.local file, and it will start itself properly.
