PCMCIA and 2.4.15-pre4

[John Weber]

I am having trouble with 2.4.15 and PCMCIA.  Anyone seeing similar
problems?

	I hate to say it, but your question isn't all that useful in its
current form.  What kinds of problems?  What pcmcia version?  What kernel
configuration?  What error messages?  Functional problems?  Compiling
problems?  Cosmetic problems?  Are they reproducable?  How can we
reproduce the problem?
	Please see http://www.stearns.org/doc/howtoask.v8.html
	Cheers,

Actually, my note was supposed to be longer... but I had a little
technical difficulty in getting the question out.  My machine completely
crashed actually...
funny that I thought it was just a kernel thing.

Thanks anyway.

	We can all commiserate; kernel crashes are annoying.

> funny that I thought it was just a kernel thing.

	It may very well be.  What error messages did you see?  What 
symptoms?  What was happening at the time it crashed?

> Thanks anyway.

	I've come off badly and apologize.  We really are all here to 
identify and fix kernel problems.  I wasn't writing the above to badger 
you, but to encourage you to provide as much detail as you can to help us 
help you.
	Cheers,
