CPU/Ram: pII 266/130m thinkpad 600

Comment:

I have a thinkpad 600 which I installed beos personal edition. I had downloaded and burned to a cdr the xircom drivers for the network card (pcmcia - xircom). The install goes fine, but when the card is inserted, I get a kernel panic (xircom) and freeze.
If I boot into safe mode, I can use the network card with no kernel panic. Any suggestions? I had updated to bone 7a. If I boot without the card, it panics when inserted. If I boot with the card, it panics once the desktop is loaded.
Would the max edition have better drivers?

I can't really follow the thread here.
Did you try twice? A PE install and another Bone install and both were the same symptoms?
Usually you will need to edit or have pccardwizard update a pcmcia file. In it you can change your IRQ to 10 or 11 if this happens. When you boot with the card in the resources are setup at boot. Some say dano works better if card is inserted at boot and that may be the same with bone7a. Usually you put the card in after a complete boot and if the card has been added to the pcmcia file then it should work.
Now the safe mode might be doing some things like disabling your addon's. It might be setting up or freeing up resources. Did you disable plug and play????? You almost always must do that.
What do you mean you copied drivers to a CD and installed them. You must always put BeOS files on a BeOS BFS partiton unless they are zipped with tracker (gui). If you unzipped them in some other os it may loose attributes.

To clarify:
I copied the driver to cdrom, so I could install it to beos...how else can you get a driver without internet access (that's right...you use floppy or cd). And yes, this was PE installed to it's own partition.
I tried numerous times, each reboot caused the kernel panic, as long as the card was inserted upon boot. If the card was removed, there was no panic. But as soon as the card was inserted, the kernel panic would appear and the computer would freeze.

Were the drivers in a zip file while they were on the CD?
The Bone install will usually not allow R5.0x files to work if they have something to do with networking. Bone is a rewrite of the network and no drivers interchange that I know of.
