I did a HD install with 3.0.1 (I would have used a newer version, but I didn't have any blank cds around...) and when I booted from the cd, it froze on "starting cardmgr", so I rebooted with nopcmcia, which brought the system up fully. Then I did an HD install (my first one) and chose lilo as my bootloader. Now when I boot, it freezes on "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr", which is not ideal. I don't want to just disable PCMCIA either, because I've got a really nice PCMCIA Orinoco Gold wireless card. Any ideas?

Upgrading to 3.3.... Or replacing "quiet" with "debug" in the append line to see more messages, then locating the problem..

darn it, debug didn't give me any more info regarding cardmgr, I'll d/l the 3.3 iso today at work and give it a shot later on tonight. Thanks for the help.

Is it a power problem? (ie acpi=off , acpi=force , noapm noacpi etc.)
Is there an IRQ conflict?
I think some users booted with nopcmcia and then loaded the modules manually...
