I spend some time digging into the pcmcia code and found where my machine freezes. The call test_irq(sock, i, 0) freezes the machine for i=10. I have no idea whatsoever why I cannot test for irq 10. Any idea? Anyway, I did set the mask0 variable in function isa_scan from 0xdeb8 to 0xdab8 to make sure irq 10 is not tested (any idea how to accomplish that correctly, exclude irq does not seem to work?) and there is no freeze anymore. But the card is not correctly initialized either. I get the following log entries: Dec 9 21:05:24 feivel cardmgr[421]: executing: 'rmmod 8390' Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel cardmgr[421]: initializing socket 0 Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel cardmgr[421]: socket 0: D-Link DE-650 Ethernet Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel cardmgr[421]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.1.131/pcmcia/8390.o' Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel cardmgr[421]: executing: 'insmod /lib/modules/2.1.131/pcmcia/pcnet_cs.o' Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel kernel: pcnet_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use Dec 9 21:05:30 feivel cardmgr[421]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: No such file or directory Could anyone tell me where that comes from?
