[Bug 38296] After upgrade to dapper, even old kernel fails - no pcmcia - error inserting genrtc

[Carthik Sharma]

Public bug reported:

Affects: linux-source-2.6.12 linux-image-2.6.12-10-686 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Hi,

I dist-upgraded from breezy to dapper.

The latest kernel does not work. Refer to Bug #38287 for details.

The older kernel, which worked well with Breezy is also not working.

When booting with kernel 2.6.12-10-686, I get amessage that says:
starting pcmcia services ... fail

then an Error message that says "Error failed to inset genrtc
(genrtc.ko)"

and also the errors:
"calling hotplug without a hotplug agent defined"

This is on an Acer Travelmate 290 LMi laptop that worked perfectly well
before.

Please let me know if I can provide more information, and also where to
find the information on the system. I would have attached the output of
dmesg and the contents of /var/log/messages, but since the internet is
not working now on that laptop, I cannot do so :(

Thank you.
