hi, i have a vaio z600lek with a pc-card cdrom which was properly detected and installed in red hat 8. in red hat 9 as well as fedora 1, installation from it works only with the workaround in the release notes, and it won't work at all afterwards when running either red hat 9 or fc1. i was already over at pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net, but they couldn't figure out why it's not working either (red hat uses some modified pcmcia-package, no?) here's the link (i didn't try his last tip, because i don't understand what to do - as you can see from the thread, my knowledge of linux is still very limited. so pls bear with me) http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=855719&forum_id=7049 thx for any help.
