This gives the same info as plain 'cardmgr -o', which
does not identify the card except as 'unsupported card'.

Sorry about that. The correct syntax is:
----------
cardmgr -v
----------

And where do I look for 2.2.26 pcmcia modules not at the BL3 site?

AFAIK all the relevant modules are at the BL3 site.

I think when I compiled pcmcia it produced every imaginable module.
I may have the missing pcmcia-scsi module for 2.4.31.

I did not compile cardbus modules (BL3 does not do cardbus).
It is also possible that I had SCSI off when I compiled.

Neither of the modules which might work with this scsi pcmcia card are cardbus (both end in _cs) and one of them (aha152x_cs.o) was at your site under pcmcia but the other was not (sym-something_cs.o).

I will try cardmgr -v when we have copied BL3.40 to this replacement computer with replacement hard drive (onboard controller, hard drive, and first replacement hard drive all had problems - and we lost three computers in the past few weeks. Too hot for them?).

Do you have any idea why the 700MHz PIII won't work with BL2
and older kernel but it will with BL3

It's nice that BL3 works with a PIII, but it really
doesn't matter. BL3 is targetted at 486 and P1.
I'm more interested in 386s than PIIIs.

People are now throwing out 700MHz around here. I have something that works on one (BL2 with 2.4.31 kernel, BL3 with any kernel) but I was hoping to learn something about how they differ and why BL3 would work where BL2 would not. Something about busybox during boot? Is there anything I could try changing in BL2 to get it working with 2.2.26?


Cheers,
