After you installpkg, did you run '/sbin/lilo' ? You should.

The 'cs:' is the part in which PCMCIA cs driver is probing IO ports.

If the above doesn't work, maybe, try this:

However, the booting process hangs at "cs: I0 port probe 0x800-0x80f"
Btw, the link you gave me was about an upgrade from slackware 11 to 12 right, how do I solve the current problem?

Hi,

My bad! Sorry.

I just mis read the post. I've been working on 12 posts lately. I moved from one tab to another (yours) and placed the wrong response.

Your problem seems to be the probe of the I/O port. Did you enable acpi?

You might also try appending your lilo.conf with 'pci=assign-busses':

Code:

image = /boot/bzImage-2.6.19.1b
        root = /dev/sda9
        label = MyNewKernel
        read-only
        vga=normal
        append="resume=/dev/sda6 pci=assign-busses"

..or something like that (sorry I use grub now)

the 'not on the root bridge problem' means (i think) the CPU doesn't have direct access to the pcmcia bus and so the probe gets hung up there.

you can check:

Code:

lspci -v | grep subordinate
lspcmcia -v
cat /proc/ioports

you should see your pcmcia slot(s) have direct access to the primary bus.

of course, I could be completely wrong too ;D

Hi all, don't have time now, would try the solutions when I get back but don't mind me asking, how do you guys know all this, like the error I got was pcmcia, etc? Usually when I read linux guides they tell me about commands and basic system administration not solving these problems, care to point me out on some reading materials which deal with these issues? I'm looking for information on configuring my box from the text files (/etc), as well as understanding the messages which flow by at startup and any hardware problems and how do I solve them...

i only know about things I've had to fix or setup (that means I've broken them before

) I still consider myself very much a n00b, except for some things that I've done a lot of times.

I think the best place to start is with the slackbook and or by checking out the 'slacklinks' in my sig. soo much info there, but really for me its been about what I need/want my computer to do, then when I need to learn something I generally start with google, then man/info pages, followed by LQ search and finally posting a thread here.

most problems have already been solved, so I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I think google is perhaps the best tool out there for this type of thing. All the answers are there, just need to know what to search. And, of course, you need to be good at solving problems ... you know, be persistent, don't give up, etc.

I know that there's an answer to every problem, because I've found an answer to every problem I've had. And, (almost) every time, I think what if I had given up ? Sometimes I was very very close to giving up ... but I didn't, and now here I am and the problem is solved.

Moral: Never give up. Every problem has a solution.

EDIT: (But not every question is a problem, and not all questions can be answered, mostly because they are nonsense.)
