pcmcia lockup inserting or removing cards in 2.4.5-ac{13,22}
Quoted 9 lines
Somewhere between 2.4.2 and 2.4.5-ac13, PCMCIA card insertion and removal appears to have broken on my Toshiba Libretto. On 2.4.2 all was fine. On both 2.4.5-ac13 and ac22 it's broken. The whole machine freezes
solid, no SAK-s, SAK-u, SAK-b, no Ctrl-Alt-Fn to switch VC's. No messages
are issued. Problem occurs when inserting/removing any of YE-Data PCMCIA
floppy, TDK Smartmedia adapter (ide_cs), or 3c589 ethernet card.
On my IBM Thinkpad 390E my PCMCIA works fine with 2.4.5, on very rare occasions
the mouse will drift diagonaly to the lower right corner. I read in the kernel sources that this happens normaly due to probing of the PCMCIA which screws up the mouse device. It happens so rarely I have not yet taken the time to try to debug it.

Just FYI.(maybe worthless without ksymoops report)
My ThinkPad 600X(Coppermine 500 MHZ, 100 MHZ SDRAM 320 MB, NeoMagic 256Z Video chipset, UDMA3 IDE hdd, cardbus IBM Etherjet 10/100 - Xircom oem, tulip 21143 compatible, external mii tranceiver - Cirrus CS46XX sound chipset) was completely locked up the system while loading yenta_socket and other modules.
But, Mr. David Hinds' pcmcia-cs-3.1.26(i82365, tulip_cs) always works well. This was the first time for me to try to experiment with built-in pcmcia support of regular linux kernel after 2.4.0 kernel was released.
I have been using only pcmcia-cs-3.1.2x since I bought 600X in Dec 2000, because pcmcia drivers of 2.4.0-testX kernel doesn't worked wel at that time.
I use kernel-2.4.3-ac22, gcc-2.96-88, binutils-2.11.90.0.19, glibc-2.2.3, XFree86-4.1.0, ..).
