just did a fresh install of FC2 on a dell laptop and, like many pioneers before me, ran into
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121742
where the yenta_socket module is not loaded, therefore PCMCIA doesn't start, therefore ... well, bad things happen on laptops.
skimming the contributions to that bug thread, it's not clear what the *official* fix is. obviously, one can manually run:
# modprobe yenta_socket # service pcmcia start
but surely there's been some kind of update since original FC2 to address this. (i'd just "yum update", but thus far, i have not been successful in getting even a simple "yum update" or "yum list updates" to run to completion. grrr ...)
so what's the final prognosis on this bug? is there an update i just can't get at at the moment?
rday
p.s. it seems that the startup file /etc/init.d/pcmcia has been a real problem for the longest time, with sometimes blatant errors in logic. is there something about that file that's just overly challenging WRT debugging? just curious.
