I see no ide-cd module, the default 2.4 kernel appears to have IDE-CD support compiled in and not in a module, so I need to rebuild the kernel AFAICT ?! Yuck. I can't figure out the Debian kernel-images at all, if I lift the "config" files from the obvious directory on the CD they are not consistent with the kernel I thought they were. For example the bf2.4 install supports ReiserFS, but when I grab the "obvious" config file Reiser is not enabled, unless this is an issue with integrating the 2.4.18 kernel-sources...... I'm really hacked off with this, I have done multiple kernel builds for PCMCIA before with 2.4, but the Debian one just isn't playing ball -- I've done an embarassing number of builds (okay quite a few were because I was tired and missed obvious stuff). This box had some interrupt issues before, which might be relevant but I can't get it to recognise the i82365 Intel ISA to PCMCIA adaptor when I build the kernel - I can boot from the rescbf24 image (root=/dev/hda1) and I am networked. Build a kernel image using the Debian tools, and no i82365 is found on boot -- it sit the "no such device" error I didn't note the correct wording. I know that modern kernels drive the hardware just dandy, even without PCMCIA_CS (although it is better) usually the interrupt issue is between the mouse and the Wireless card, and fixed with PCMCIA_CS by excluding the interrupt (4 IIRC) in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. Some kernel builds give me some weird /proc/interrupt entries - has something changed recently in 2.4 (or is Debian different in some subtle way?). Some kernel builds had no "pcmcia" entry in /proc/devices, even though the "config" file said "yes". Anyone know precisely what puts this entry in /proc/devices, and when? Simon, miffed PS: Ironically SCSI support for CD works fine (well reading CD's, I want the PCMCIA card up to download me some CD images). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE+R8JbGFXfHI9FVgYRAn0gAJsGEAg1/hz4RSVi4Jd1zCoHvmMu3QCcDrRF fnRekXV7WGEBxMYuszzV1Ew= =wZjr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
