1st boot failiure PCMCIA

[psychoscotch]

Hi everybody,
I'm running Redhat 9 on my Amilo D CY23 notebook, therefore I have to turn off my computer every time when I'm not using it. ( to prevent overheating )
Each time when I try to turn it on it freezes at loading PCMCIA:

starting PCMCIA: Yenta irq list 0218, pci irq10
socket status: 30000006

The only way to avoid this is to start clicking ctrl+C, ctril+B and all kind of different keys, than I have to log on, log off and make a hot restart in order to boot the system normally.
After that everything works fine I can restart safelly if I want to use Win XP or do whatever I want but not in the first time.
Please explain step by step what do I have to do? ( I'm a newbie to Linux )

Thanks in advance

When the system loads normally the following message appears:

starting PCMCIA: Yenta irq list 0218, pci irq10
socket status: 30000006
Yenta irq list 0218, pci irq 11

hope this could give you a clue...

When I was running RH 9 I never had this issue with my Gateway laptop. Are you saying its RH specific? If so what brings you to this belief?

I dont know if this is a Redhat problem. I'm just saying what kind of linux I use. Could be a hardware problem...I'm not sure

I think I have solved the issue.
I turned off the PCMCIA service from all the booting levels ( 3 4 5 ) and it worked.



Cool
