Installing RedHat with PCMCIA ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Below you can find quote from two e-mails by John Bowman (bowman math.ualberta.ca) dated Sun, 19 Apr 1998: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By the way, I had no trouble installing Redhat 5.0 via PCMCIA, using a Dlink DE-650 card (a DE-660 requires a minor update to /etc/pcmcia/config). The trick was to set Plug & Play O/S in the BIOS to No. Other than that everything went smoothly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Actually, you can edit the config file on supp.img, although it is a bit tricky. Here are the basic steps. You have to mount supp.img as an ext2 filesystem and in a separate directory edit pcmcia.cgz as follows: zcat pcmcia.cgz | cpio -di mv lib/modules tmp rmdir lib find . | cpio -ovH crc | gzip -9 > ../pcmcia.cgz The second and third lines have to do with restoring the correct file overlaying (I think supp.img could have been designed better to avoid the need for this hack). Of course, as soon as DE-660 (treat it like a DE-650) gets officially added to the pcmcia package and a new supp.img is generated this hack won't be necessary.
