Basically, I have not been able to reproduce the problem without
booting X. The
system has not yet frozen in console mode. I have since reverted back
to 2.6.8,
and have not upgraded kernels since, due to this issue. One work around would
be to use the pcmcia-cs packages with a later kernel, but for now the
system is
working fine with the 2.6.8 configuration.
However, on very rare occasions, when I am utilizing excessive bandwidth on my
wireless network card even in 2.6.8 I have experienced the same sort of system
freeze-up, which I only mention because this is evidence that the problem has
nothing to do with the pcmcia driver compiled into the later kernel versions,
but something more fundamental at the hardware level?
Anyway, I'm still not sure if X is the problem or not. I will try the
dmesg -n
7 and reproduce the system freeze and see if the log catches anything.
Thanks for the response,
Eric
