[TriLUG] Redhat 7.2 on a toshiba.

[Vestal, Roy L.]

My old Toshiba 110CS runs RHL 7.1 fine. As demonstrated at the last TriLUG.
It is the one used to process new members.  ;)

Apparently you CAN get a toshiba laptop to work on rh 7.2 and probably 
7.1.  I never found this before 
http://www.xmission.com/~bradipo/toshiba/Toshiba_2100CDT.html#pcmciaadjust

in short:

4.3 Adjusting PCMCIA

PCMCIA is once again working. After perusing the PCMCIA-HOWTO document I 
found an option that must be enabled before
rebooting or the PCMCIA modules will cause the kernel to lockup. The 
elusive option is "do_scan=0" and it should be placed in
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. Here are the contents of my file



PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS="wakeup=1 do_scan=0"
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS="-f "



-------------------------

I've got a pretty different model (2065CDS) but this worked like a 
charm.  I'd venture to say that if you check:

http://newsletter.toshiba-tro.de/main/

the main thing you'd have to change is the PCIC line.  I was lucky 
enough to have the same "PCIC".  Anyhow this has been broken since 7.0. 
Used to work in 6.2...oh well.

And though I normally can't use redhats bugzilla because it uses 
javascript window-open which I disable because of popups...  I've 
managed to log this as Bug 55747 so maybe they'll fix it in 8.0 
(assumption).
