Re: Kernel compile

[David Mackay <monitoreurope yahoo co uk>]

Thanks for your response. The problem with that is
that 2.4.20 doesn't contain all the patches required
for my chipset. I can do back to a RH kernel like
2.4.20-8 and have PCMCIA but no USB, or compile 2.4.21
and get USB but no PCMCIA!

There must be a scripting/startup problem that i can
work around with 2.4.21, because as i say PCMCIA works
if i start manually.
