Making PCMCIA detection work in Babbage server
Server was preconfigured to have PCMCIA disabled.
1.) Found startup scripts were disabled.
They had renamed the startup scripts in these runlevels (2-5) to kill scripts.
# mv /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K96pcmcia /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S09pcmcia
(repeat this for rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d directories).
2.) Still gettting "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices" in /var/log/messages.
Also get when you do 'cardctl -v -o' (-o means run once in foreground, -v means verbose)
Check file /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. It looked like:
PCMCIA=no
PCIC=
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
It should look like:
[kws@localhost sysconfig]$ more pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
This is a Dell laptop, all laptops seem to have the same config.
