[ltp] Kernel 2.4.20 and Realtek8139 with PCMCIA

ok.. finally got to it...

With my 2.4.20 Kernel, it shows... Nothing... nothing at all...

Under my 2.2.19 it shows all my goodies (PCMCIA, Realtek, etc...)

I did do a 'lspci' just to see...
00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 430MX - 82437MX MTSC [430MX PCIset - 
82437MX Mobile System Controller (MTSC) and 82438MX Mobile Data Path (MT 
(rev 02)
00:01.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371FB PIIX ISA [Triton I] (rev 02)
00:02.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1130 (rev 04)
00:02.1 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1130 (rev 04)
00:03.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9660/968x/968x 
(rev d3)
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 
10)

I doubt that helps any though... =(

I have a question... Did you upgrade to your kernel, or a fresh install?

I finally managed to get a backup (WOO HOO!) so I can do more testing soon! 
(I need to do 1 more backup and test restore and a secondary backup as well)

btw... Norton Ghost using Printer Port is ... SLOW!
I'll be glad when I can get Mondo Rescue working...

Thanks!
Adam

pci is necessary to support internal transfers.

below is lsmod what does your yenta-socket show?

do you see anything suspicious??
