I just installed grml 0.8 on a Toshiba Satellite 4070CDT. There is no internal network card, so I use a pcmcia card, 3com's 589. The main problem of this machine are 64 MB RAM :-(
"hwinfo --pcmcia" gives no output, so does "hwinfo --netcard".
The modules pcmcia, yenta_socket, and 3c589_cs are loaded. Still ifconfig does not give me eth0 - "no device available". grml ;-)
What modules do I have to install to make this card run? It worked with 0.7, so there may be a chance to run it on 0.8 too...
On my VMWare, everything runs fine, but it's just a pcnet32 card...
Does booting with 'pci=assign-busses' help?
If not, can you please run grml-hwinfo and send me (off the list) the resulting info.tar.bz2?
regards, -mika-
Mika,
thank you for your assistance :-) I solved the problem in the meantime. In /etc/modules, I now have the lines:
yenta_socket pcmcia_core pcmcia firmware_class rsrc_nonstatic 3c589_cs evdev fuse donauboe snd_es1968 radio_maestro
And now "ifconfig eth0 ..." does not complain any more :-) and "apt-get upgrade" is running... "hwinfo --pcmcia" and "hwinfo --netcards" work fine now. Seems to be a difference between modprobing after boot and including into boot process...
BTW, it took more than 3 hours to boot from CD. Especially the creation of /etc/fstab seemed to work endless. Does it scan the whole disk? Shouldn't it be enough to read the partition table?
Best regards, Werner
