Redhat install question

Mon Feb 4 15:14:28 PST 2002

I have a laptop that it is already running Redhat 7.0, and on which I 
want to install 7.2 via the PCMCIA this time, instead of using the 
CDROM. I downloaded the pcmcia.img and pcmciadd.img for the Redhat web 
site and  copied on two diskettes. This laptop is using a 3COM 
3CCFEM556B PCMCIA card.

The laptop boots fine from the diskette containing the pcmcia.img; then 
when it asks to insert the second diskette containing the PCMCIA 
drivers, it freezes with the message "Initialiazing PC Card Devices".

I have browsed Google left and right, checked a dozen or so mailing 
lists,asked people on IRC. Nothing. I found very few messages on Google 
of people  experiencing the same problem, but with no resolution.

And yes, I recreated those diskettes at least a couple of times on 
different diskettes, and I also took the images from the 7.2 CDROM 
instead of the Redhat web site the second time... just in case.

Any idea folks?
