This means that no driver for the PCMCIA socket is loaded
yet. Unfortunately, loading the PCMCIA is not yet automated (this will
be fixed in the next version).
However, you can do this manually. With Alt+F2, you can switch to
another virtual console where you can get a shell. Type Alt+F2, then
return to activate the shell.
Then do the following commands (after the tar file has been loaded
from the second disk):
modprobe pcmcia_core
Then one of the following, depending on the type of PCMCIA socket that
you have. If you don't know which, just try them all:
modprobe i82092
modprobe i82365
modprobe tcic
modprobe yenta_socket
Then, finally:
modprobe ds
Then, go back to the user-interface with Alt+F1, and retry loading the
card driver. With a *_cb driver, this should be possible. With a *_cs
driver, you'd need cardmgr, which will be included in the next
version.
(Oh, and btw: when writing mails, please don't put any control
characters into your message. Control characters are characters whose
code is between 0-31 or between 128 and 159. On some software, it
makes it hard to reply to you. I had to replace the 134 after your
name with its octal expression (\206)in order to be able to send this
reply)
