Correct, I am running RH7.1
Here is a listing of /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

This is without the card inserted, with it inserted on boot, it gets
down to "mounting other file systems" and stops. I do not recall
that I was able to get it to start back up as it does when I insert
the card with the machine running.

As above this is with the machine running. The adaptor is a SunDisk
CompactFlash pc card adapter.

OK, I thought as much but you have made it quite clear, thank you on
that one.

Tell me what else you want me to try and I will poke away at it. I am
trying to figure out about getting a log from a boot with the device in
the slot, since it stops so early in the boot, and the recovery is not
nice (cold reset), again I do not recall that the boot picked up after
the card was removed.
