PCMCIA kernel freezes (yenta_socket) - more info

PCMCIA kernel freezes (yenta_socket) - more info

[Olivier Sessink]

Hi all,

when I insert a PCMCIA card (3 cards tested) in my Sony Vaio R600HEK the
system freezes. When I remove the card it runs again. logs show nothing,
dmesg shows nothing.. 

When I boot the system with a PCMCIA card in the slot, it works AND I can
remove it and add it again without a problem!!??!!

So the workaround it to boot it with a card always, but that is not really
convenient..

it is a Debian testing (Woody) system with kernel 2.4.14, the following
modules are loaded: cb_enabler, ds, yenta_socket and pcmcia_core

I also have some weird kernel messages when the PCMCIA is started:

Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pm]
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 01:02.0. Please try using
pci=biosirq.

0x4d0-0x4d7

cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.

More info on this laptop can be found on
http://lx.student.wau.nl/~olivier/linux_on_r600hek/linux_on_r600hek.html
including dmesg output and lspci output and stuff like that

anybody an idea?

regards,
	Olivier

I can corroborate this, have exactly the same problem with a no-name 'MyNote'
notebook, yenta_socket too.

Well, not quite - I have the problem when modprobing yenta_socket.
