I did a modeprobe yenta_socket; pcmcia restart. It worked..but not after rebooting. This solution was all that it needed. Well done guys.

This worked great…. Probably saved me a kernal recompile

It’s not necessary to change the loading priority. The fix is to remove the “alias eth0” line from your modprobe.conf file. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id121742

For console beeps you have to have the pcspkr module loaded – it’s as simple as that (when you know how) but I’m not sure how you are meant to find out about it unless you are recompiling your kernel.

Thank you! Thank you! It was so frustrating to see the problem happening (during boot-up) and not know how to fix it. I had tried several “fixes” mentioned on several different forums, none of them worked in my case. The fix mentioned above worked perfectly for me. And just for anyone caring on my particular setup: I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-37, Fedora Core 2, and a Lucent Orinoco wireless PCMCIA card. – Nice work, donangel, thanks for sharing!

Has anyone reported this (and the fix) to ye olde Bugzilla yet?

Thanks! I struggled with this all day yesterday until I found this link. Rebooted and worked fine.

Thank you for documenting your PCMCIA FC2 solution. It worked perfectly.

I’m really surprised FC2 made it out with this problem. I guess nobody tested on a laptop?
