Laptop hangs during boot / PCMCIA trouble

[Cornelius Puschmann]

Hello everyone,

first of all I'd like to apologize in case I'm using the wrong list for my 
questions. I've just installed Fedora and I'm dying to try it out... problem 
is it hangs during boot (the installation worked flawlessly) and there seems 
to be nothing I can do about it.

The step it's having trouble with is PCMCIA Services. Before installing 
Fedore I gave the Slax LiveCD a try and had the same problem. Everything 
worked fine once I booted Slax without PCMCIA, but with Fedora I'm not 
entirely sure how to boot with parameters(?).

I assume my eMachines laptop (umm, it was cheap.. what can I say) has 
obscure hardware or there's something else I'm doing wrong. Any help is much 
appreciated.

My system:

eMachines M6805
AMD Mobile Athlon 64 3000+
on Fedora Core 2 x86_64


thanks,

Corn
