Laptop freezes when shutting down pcmcia service

Post by Barry Schwart » Tue, 18 Sep 2001 03:11:04



I am successfully starting up and running RH7.1 on a Toshiba Tecra 730
laptop. The laptop was* when shutting down the irda service, so I
have simply stopped running it.

Now the laptop hangs when attempting to shutdown the pcmcia service. ( The
eth0 service has successfully shutdown before this point. I am using a
pcmcia-based ethernet card.)

Questions:

1) Does anyone understand what could be causing this hang on shutdown?

2) What steps can I take to eliminate this problem?

3) Is it possible/ok to simply eliminate the shutdown instructions while
leaving the startup instructions as they are?
