since pcmcia_cs installs kernel drivers, it ought to do depmod -a otherwise the modules can't be found. If this isn't possible, it could at least do an ewarn in pkg_postinst() telling the user to do so herself. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remove all pcmcia drivers from the kernel 2. emerge pcmcia_cs 3. /etc/init.d/pcmcia start Actual Results: don't have the exact error, but basically it can't find the module pcmcia_core.o, even though it's been installed by the pcmcia_cs package. Expected Results: started with no module err0rs.

Okay, this is fixed in pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 and 3.2.7 which are in portage. 3.2.5-r1 will be marked stable soon.
