Help

ya mandrake 9.0 saw my pcmcia but didn't recognize any cards i put in. and mandrake 9.1 doesn't even see that i have pcmcia.

hopefulyl i can find a fix for this

I ran into this problem with my old Dell Inspiron 7500. I took all cards out of pcmcia and managed to get it installed. After installing it and booting I reinserted my pcmcia network card. It was detected and installed properly and I havn't had a problem since. May be try removing all cards before doing the install?
