pcmcia disabled by new kernel in FC4
 
hello,

I have FC4 and decided to upgrade the kernel to the latest version..2.6.15****....
from 2.6.14****...when i rebooted, the pcmcia card is givin me probs

"pcmcia cardmgr [1919] 1socket watching..etc"
and when it gets to the username/passwd screen the graphics are all messe up.
Looks like the new kernel disabled the pcmcia card...
now i read somewhere that u can do the following:

su -
modprobe yenta-socket
service pcmcia restart

and it works fine, though every time i reboot im back to sqare one...
could some1 help me out with this...its really frustrating when this happens just about when u start writing your thesis!

Thanks

It used to be put into /etc/modprobe.conf but on my FC5 and quite possibly your FC4 also ( I'm not at an FC4 box right now ), you can load a module by creating a file in /etc/sysconfig/modules.
For example: As root user ( su - )
Code:
(echo '#!/bin/sh'; echo 'modprobe yenta-socket') \
> /etc/sysconfig/modules/yenta-socket.modules

chmod +x /etc/sysconfig/modules/yenta-socket.modules

Then, look to see if pcmcia is set to start on boot...
chkconfig --list

chkconfig --level 345 pcmcia on

service pcmcia restart

Try it with that service off...
chkconfig --level 2345 auditd off

awesome...no problems now it works..i even have sound...
does any1 know what that auditd is all about? now that i have it set to off,
will it affect somethin?
just curious

also, even though it seems like all the probs i had are fixed now,
its still buggin me that, on boot, it says:

"...pcmcia: cardmgr [ various numbers in here..like 1919] watching 1 socket, done [OK] "
I didnt have that b4!
