- How do I disable PCMCIA probing at boot, along with a lot of other things I don't use, in order to increase boot speed?
I don't know if Fedora comes with any funky GUI tools for this, but you can always do it manually. As root, check the following directories for any reference to PCMCIA: /etc/rcX.d/ where X is a number. If you find any that look like /etc/rcX.d/S09pcmcia (it'll be a symlink to ../init.d/pcmcia) then unlink it. I find doing something like this helps occasionally (it unlinks the starting and stopping services): as root in /etc: find ./ -iname "[S,K]??pcmcia" | xargs unlink && ./init.d/pcmcia stop This will find all your PCMCIA service links (both starting and stopping) and unlink them, and then stop the currently running PCMCIA service.
