[NBLUG/talk] tar balls

[Scrappy Laptop]

My guess was that he was referring to the condition of San Francisco Bay and shorelines north, in the wake of the oil spill.  
When I first half-heard the news reporter, I was attempting a frustrating install onto a pcmcia hard drive and I thought, "tarballs?" and envisioned tape carts and floppy disks littering Rodeo and Stinson Beaches.  Couldn't reconcile how they could be hurting the waterfowl, though...

Question:  Anyone else having trouble with Ubuntu 7.10 recognizing pcmcia IDE devices?  I was trying to prep one for use on a pc/104 '486 using my laptop.   Four different models of pcmcia hdd ranging from 340MB to 2GB, all result in a "cannot set transfer mode" error and timeout.  Earlier kernels are okay, other distros no problem (I tried DSL and Breezy CD's) and there are mentions in the kernel bug lists going back a year, but I've not yet correlated version numbers with what is in 7.10.
