I faced the same problem here. Only solution for me was to use a different machine, because the one I was trying first had only two PCI slots available and I tried to use an ethernet and and cardbus card with Xenomai at the same time. The result was that only one worked due to IRQ conflicts, the machine freezed when I used both. Now with machine no 2 it works, as long as I disable USB controller.
