I installed Debian Woody on an old Toshiba Tecra 700ct laptop. Now as
far as setting up the laptop I'm fine. It works great and with the
2.4.18bf24 stock kernel everything works fine. But I also have the
Deskstation V and needed to recompile my kernel to get around the scsi
controller. Anyway. In the 2.4.18bf kernel I have it recognize my pcmcia
and it starts my Samba daemons smbd and nmbd at boot. And I can log into
my main box fine. But since my kernel recompile (I have included smbfs
as one of my modules) only smbd starts at boot up but even then I have
to smbd stop and then smbd start and nmbd start manually in order to get
the laptop's samba to connect to the main box. Ping shows the machines
see each other it's just a matter of getting Samba to initialize. I have
Samba started by daemons as opposedto initd and wonder if that might
make a difference. But what in the kernel could have possibly been
missed so this happens?
