Strange one. It should create the /dev/shm/.init.d/started/pcmcia link |
51 |
if the script executed properly. If it do not have the green ok, it |
52 |
means 2 things: 1) no 'eend' is present in the script. 2) it fails and |
53 |
should give you a red '!!' |
54 |
|
55 |
Other posiblity is a bug in the runscript.sh script. It however sounds |
56 |
like the script fails, as there was a bug with the previous baselayout |
57 |
that caused a script to start multiple times if it keeps failing. This |
58 |
is fixed in the latest baselayout. |
59 |
|
60 |
So, back to the pcmcia script. I can check it for syntax errors, but |
61 |
the how and innerworkings of pcmcia is not known to me as I do not use |
62 |
a notebook. |
63 |
|
64 |
If possible, update to the latest baselayout (1.7.2 .. maybe 1.7.2-r1 or |
65 |
1.7.3 that should come out tonight), and give feedback again. If you |
66 |
can debug the problem, so the better. |
