Hi all,

Everytime I start my slackware 9.1 system, working on kernel 2.6.4, a message appears saying
Starting PCMCIA Services...

The bootup momentarily pauses there. Is there a way I can disable this?

Hi.

Comment this out in /etc/rc.d/rc.M

# Initialize PCMCIA devices:
#
# NOTE: This used to be started near the top of rc.S so that PCMCIA devices
# could be fsck'ed along with the other drives. This had some unfortunate
# side effects, however, since root isn't yet read-write, and /var might not
# even be mounted the .pid files can't be correctly written in /var/run and
# the pcmcia system can't be correctly shut down. If you want some PCMCIA
# partition to be mounted at boot (or when the card is inserted) then add
# the appropriate lines to /etc/pcmcia/scsi.opts.
#
#if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia ] ; then
# . /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia start
# # The cards might need a little extra time here to initialize.
# if [ -r /var/run/cardmgr.pid ]; then
# sleep 5
# fi
