backtrack 2 beta freezes on boot

pyre · 02-06-2007, 02:42 PM

Hello all. I recently obtained backtrack 2 (auditor and WHAX combined). The problem I have is that during bootup of the livecd, it comes to:

Starting PCMCIA services:
<probing for PCIC...>

Cardmgr[4554]: watching 1 socket
_

FROZEN

nothing happens after this. I've let it sit for a while, but when it comes to this point its clear that its frozen. Before "Starting PCMCIA services:" it says use 'slax nopcmcia' at the boot prompt. I do and it says "no kernal named slax". ummm? Thanks for the input.

I'm on a toshiba satellite, about a year old...

so, I guess the question stands, how do i disable pcmcia on a live cd?

thanks again.

Hi.

It was "slax nopcmcia" in Backtrack 1

in BT2 it is:

Code:

bt nopcmcia

Yeah, its a "bug", they didnt remember to update boot options, there is "slax copy2ram" etc when it should be "bt copy2ram"
