Slackware boothang


Just installed Slackware 9.0 and when I reboot to get into everything, it seems to hang, the last 5 lines left on my screen are:

cs: cd_alloc(bus7): vendor 0x1317, device 0x1985
PCI: Enabling device 07:00.0 )0000 -> 0003)
cardmgr [53]: watching 2 sockets
cs: IO port probe 0x0c00-0xcff: clean.
cs: IO port probe 0x0800-08ff: *flashing cursor here*

I'm trying to runon a Dell Inspiron 8100 P3 1Ghz
512mb RAM

isn't cardmgr only supposed to acknowledge pcmcia cards? i could be completely wrong, but i think that something is funny with the pcmcia cards you have connected. it seems to stick on the 2nd pcmcia NIC... i think.

I also have an inspiron 8100 that I use linux on, slackware to, I always disable pcmcia because I have no devices for it (only type of device I don't have experiance with) however after compiling a custom kernel if I forget to disable pcmcia eather in boot scripts or in kernel it will lock because of some version incompatibility, I recommend if you have no pcmcia disable it (chmod 000 /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia on slackware) if you do use it try downloading latest pcmcia utils from kernel.org and compile a newer kernel (2.4.21) or if you are really daring you can use 2.6.0-testX like I do, it kicks a lot off @$$ but it is not the most stable (I have had no trouble in actuality, but it is a beta) oh and use test3 not test4 alsa is broken to bits in test4 and the alsa.sourceforge sources don't compiel right in 2.6.x
