Hi,

Recently installed archlinux so this is my first email here. Can't configure the network (no eth0), dmesg gives me errors while initializing pccard services (a laptop with pcmcia lan card). A search in Bugzilla doen't result in something relevant (USB-issues mostly).

So, what's the error?

Thanks for any suggetions how to proceed. Rumen PS:plan to boot with another kernel (with net-support) but it's using hda instead of sda (fstab), but will try anyway.

Thanks, Rumen PS: Had the same problem (eventually) with kernel-2.6.27 (the one from archboot iso CD), but don't have any debug info.

I personally have no idea, but google gives me quite some hits on 'pccard not tainted', maybe a kernel bug? Dieter

Dieter Hi Dieter,

Thanks and sorry for this delay in answering. Have some new info - booting with quite standalone kernel-2,6.25-r7 solved the problem, so it's eventually a kernel Bug. Later will try 2.6.28-4 and report (2.6.28-3 doesn't work too). Rumen Hi,

An update - newest kernel-2.6.28-4 doesn't work too. Think this is something specific to my BIOS or other settings. Custom kernel works Ok, closing this thread for now. Thanks, Rumen
