ACPI and PCMCIA?


I use knoppix and when acpi is disabled it hangs when it tries to probe pcmcia, can't i use pcmcia without the acpi activated?

I have a lap power mp-996 with:

CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc. OZ6836/6860 Cardbus Controller (rev 62)
Taken from lspci.

Thanks.

Unless you have an APM bios, I'd use ACPI. You must have either APM or ACPI.
Check this out, for an explanation.

APM is the only thing i get to work stable, but then pcmcia wont work instead? :S Can it be the kernel that Knoppix uses? Because since i don't have an hdd in it yet it's hard to use something else. :P

And then to another question, i use a bluetooth adapter for networking on it now, is it possible to do something so i can boot over network? say like mounting and hdd in another computer and running from it? Then maybe i could try fixing with the kernel..

Thanks.

I don't use knoppix that much myself, but you can choose between a 2.4 kernel (knoppix) and a 2.6 kernel (knoppix26). The most recent version of knoppix uses the 2.6.11 kernel by default, older versions use a 2.4 kernel by default. Have you tried booting both kernel versions?

I'm afraid I don't have much experience with network booting, maybe someone else knows, but doing it over bluetooth sounds fairly complicated to me.

I use the most recent version, the 2,4 kernel doens't seem to be there anymore.. Doesn't really give me much of an option :/
