Shareing IRQ 9(or 11) is normal, but make sure the CardBus bridge is under the PCI bus, not under the ISA bus. This can be shown in the output of prtconf. (If the Cardbus bridge is configured by BIOS to work in 'PCIC Compatible" mode, then it is under the ISA bus) If it's under the PCI bus, then the hang is usually because the CardBus driver didn't manage to setup the device correctly, so it failed to clear the pending insertion interrupt. Please enable debugging by adding two lines in /etc/system: set pcic:pcic_debug=1 set cardbus:cardbus_debug=1
Then reboot, after the system is up and running, insert the card. After that send me /var/adm/messages. It can tell what happens. Vincent.
