Fedora 5: 2006-216 Critical Pcmciautils Startup Hangup Fix

The pcmciautils package contains utilities for initializing and

debugging PCMCIA and Cardbus sockets.

User with pcmcia, namely Laptop users, who experience a

hangup at "Starting udev" should update to this package.

Boot from a rescue CD.

# cd /mnt/sysimage

# mv sbin/pcmcia-socket-startup sbin/pcmcia-socket-startup.bak

# cd ..

# reboot

Then try to boot and update your system.

If can't update without your pcmcia cards and they need

pcmcia-socket-startup, then changing the lines

include port 0x100-0x3af, port 0x3c0-0x3d2, port 0x3d4-0x4ff

include port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff

to

include port 0x100-0x3af

include port 0x3e0-0x4ff

include port 0x820-0x8ff

include port 0xc00-0xcf7

in the file /etc/pcmcia/config.opts may help.
