hdinstalled: boot problem: yenta_socket (PCI)
wellwell.. i finally managed to install the whole thing on the hd..
but the notebook freezes at bootup at those lines:
...
yenta_socket Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: Enabling device 00:0a.0 (0000 -> 0002)
*freezes*
(of course the laptop hasn't any pci-devices)
.. but the stange thing is, when i reboot and the system performs a hd-partition-checkup, the problem doesn't occur, but exept of the bootup takes several minutes, everything works fine..
- so, anyone knows what that routine is and how can override it/make it work?

If your laptop have any pcmcia slots, that is what the yenta driver is looking for. If there are none, unload the module and don't worry about it. If there are pcmcia slot(s), then you have a problem with the slot(s) themselves or with the devices already in the slot(s).

ah, okay, yes there's a pcmcia-slot, but i don't use it. how exactly can i 'unload the module'?

try knoppix nopcmcia in the boot prompt. and if that works put it in lilo.conf as and append=nopcmcia

That's one way of doing it, but it's a workaround. A better solution is to to open a console window as root and type:
Code:
mcedit /etc/modules
. Look for a line that says yenta_socket and comment it out with a # in front of it. Save the file and type:
. Reboot and you should boot completely to your desktop.
