Re: [Trinux-talk] PCMCIA boot disk freezes!

[Matthew F. <mat...@ya...>]

I was aware of problems with booting off a CD-ROM
(without a floppy drive present) that caused a
several-minute hang, but this is the first I've heard
about the problem you've described. There is an issue
with busybox hiding the kernel boot messages so it is
difficult to see if it is freezing on specific
hardware component.

Is there anything unusal about your laptop. Does it
make a difference if the PCMCIA cards are plugged in.
I would guess not since it does not appear that the
kernel is completely booting or the linuxrc script is
executed.
