Vincent,
I've been pulling what hair I have left out lately over a problem that
may or may not be related. What I've found when insert a cardbus style
pcmcia card (32 bit ones) or any USB device is that hotplug attempts to
start everything on the PCI bus. Which on this comp is everything. VGA
sound the works. Older non Cardbus PCMCIA cards that have a static IRQ
demand work fine. PCI assigns everthing to IRQ 11 (this is a designed
by Manf IRQ and I can't change it.) When you do insert the pcmcia card
do tail -f /var/log/messages and I'm willing to bet you see a similar
event happening. Hotplug also insists on loading uhci even though
usb-uhci is it's replacement and the fact that uhci is in the blacklist
in /etc/hotplug/blacklist. BTW I'm trying to get wireless working. I
can't even get 2 of the most supported cards around to work. D-Link
DWL-650 and an Orinoco Gold I used from a friend of mine.
and I get same issues with dlink 680tx cardbus nic

Hello,
There are still problems with PCMCIA support, which have been there for some
time. I haven't bothered to test to see if they'd been fixed since pre 9.0
days.. and today discovered that they are indeed still a problem.
Plugging and unplugging pcmcia cards can cause the interupt handler in the
kernel to crash. Message that EIP is at (2.4.21pre3-2mdk)
then a register dump then
<0> kernel panic
Aiee, killing interupt handler!
In interupt handler, not syncinf.
The caps lock and scroll lock lights blinking.
Also, more annoying than anything else, is when the modem is plugged in at
boot time (can't plug it in later - the interupt handler will crash about 25%
of the time), and you try to use it it's busy. Have to modprobe -r serial_cs
then modprobe serial_cs to get it to work.
Additional info or files or whatever needed to help debug, let me know and
i'll send it.
