I've searched a 32 bit card PXE capable but I don't find :( So more, I don't think that my bios is capable

I put it in standby because I'm tired, I'm searching since more one week without result

Thank's for your help Hary ;)

I think that I use the config file who is make with my build kernel because to build it I create 2 .deb and install it.
I test, I test because I've not more knowledge.

Have you a good method to rebuild my kernel please ?

Thank's ;)

I've made a test because I find the initrd size too big compared to original size so I've copyied the /boot/congig ... file in my src folder and I don't modify it.
I've build the kernel and the size is 7x much important that original ...

I've made a mistake ?

Thank you ;)

No I don't, my knowledge are too bad for that.
I was thinked that the once way to build it is to ru mkintramfs no ?

The problem if I change my nic is I'm not sure to find the NDIS driver necessary to make a boot floppy to could boot pcmcia via PXE.
I've extract the initrd, there isn't modprob.conf :(
I've made lot of tests ... I've add Install binrary file, add a modprob.cof but nothing work :(

Just a question ... I've rebuild the kernel by :
I've downloaded the kernel source 2.6.22-14
I've copy /boot/config.... to /usr/src/linux source dir/ .config
I've made a make menuconfig and disable 32 bits pccard support
I've run make-kpkg clean
I've run : fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers
To finish I'v installed the .deb

I'm finding a strange thing ... with this little modification my new /boot/initrd-image is 47 Mo and the old is 7 Mo. It's the same when I build the initramfs, the size 7x more important (I hope you know what I mean)
Is t a good practice to re-setup my kernel ?

Thank you

I don't understand ... I've made lot of tests and finaly I've rebuild my kernel with the 32 bits support cardbus delete.
To do that I've copied the /boot/conf ... file in the src dir to have the same configuration. I've just desactivate the 32 bit support.
Before, my generated initrd file was 4,7 Mo (I'm using the DisklessBuild_default.sh script)
After it's 17 Mo and my tablet don't work. I think I've not enought RAM (32 Mo)

How after the new configuration this file is so big ? I've made a mistake ?

Thank's

I don't find the /etc/modprob.conf so I've thinked that was for 2.4 but it's write 2.6 on top of the page.
I'm reading lot of things at this momoment so I'm little confused ...

Sorry for my stupid post and thank's for your help ;)

you need to run a pcmcia cardmanager for that card to work in linux. Our default initrd does not include one.

best regards,
Hari

Have you an idea about how can I do that please ?

Thank's a lot

Hummm ... I find the ds.c source but I can't built it in .ko
With " make M=`pwd`/drivers/pcmcia modules " I've a .o file (my source is 2.6.22 so I don't understand)

I've searched and all people tell to execute this " make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules " but it doesn't work :(

Any idea please ?
