Hi.
I have a laptop with redhat-9 working fine. I wanted to upgrade to the latest
kernel from source. I have done this many times in servers and ws. I manage to
build it with the same modules loaded, but network fails to load.
I tried with and without modules.

This is a HP Omnibook, the network card is 3com574_cs.

When I boot with the new kernel, pcmcia looks like it starts [OK], and
network also. But ifconfig won't show the eth0 device.

Then I manually load all the modules required for pcmcia to run:
pcmcia_core, yenta_socket, ds, 3c_574_cs and I do:
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start
and it complains:

Card services release does not match
3c574_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use

I also notice when I boot from linux redhat, it starts pcmcia and shows
information about Yenta and IRQs, when booting my own kernel it just
shows [OK]

What should I do to start PCMCIA with my own kernel. Am I missing
something ?

Boot with the Red Hat Linux kernel, and remove kernel-pcmcia-cs RPM

rpm -e kernel-pcmcia-cs

Download, compile and install the pcmcia-3.2.6.tar.gz from;
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=2405

for both the Red Hat Linux kernel your new kernel using the --force and
--extraver (Red Hat Linux kernel only) switches

Example; './Configure --force --extraver=<version_number>' ; where
version_number is the Red Hat kernel version your currently running.

Example; './Configure --force' ; for the standard kernel version from
kernel.org


Note: you will need the kernel-source-XXXXX.i386.rpm file installed that
matches your current Red Hat kernel (Hint: type; uname -r)
