Is the trouble because they changed the file? If so then I don't know how it would be affecting me. This is off a clean system booting up for the first time with no modifications to config files or security. The errors I'm seeing in the bootup logs are: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:10.0. PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:10.1. PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:13.0. PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:13.1. lspci shows the four pcmcia slots correctly and identifies them as Ricoh which is what they are. > I subscribe to the redhat.seawolf newsgroup and the only pcmcia problems > reported seem to be concerned with changes to the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia > file.
