PCMCIA help, please!

On my 1st attempt to install Gentoo (2004.2) I d/l the wrong portage tree &
distfiles, apparently, because subsequent compilation of some kde components
failed. PCMCIA worked, however.

Now, I am installed to the CLI (w/the 2004.2 universal) and everything works
--excpet PCMCIA!! I have a sandisk that I will need to read/write
(eventually) but when I attempt to load pcmcia I am informed I need cardmgr
(which apparently was included before). I used 'genkernel' to build both
kernels.

Any help appreicated! Thanks!

Which kernel? 2.4? If so, emerge pcmcia-cs and read the instructions
carefully.

I found http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=26716 to be a great help.

Or... if you're using a 2.6 kernel I would navigate your way to
/usr/src/linux and type

make menuconfig

Then go through each section and tick everything that looks related to
PCMCIA.

Then exit, type

make && make modules_install

Then copy your newly created bzImage file (probably in
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot) to your /boot folder.

You may have to first mount your boot partition into /boot before you
can do this. On my system, I would type:
mount /dev/hda1 /boot

HTH
