problem with pcmcia, pci and hard disk

[Mauro Chiarugi]

Hi,
i've an hp Pavillon ze4288. I've compilied my kernel with pcmcia support
disabled (i use pcmcia-cs, but without kernel support because i've a
cisco aironet card 352, and it works only with this support disabled as
Cisco's release notes says) but, when i boot, my system freeze:"PCI:
Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0a.0 IRQ routing conflict for 00:0a.0, have
irq 5, want irq 11 O2 MICRO OZ6912 rev 00 PCI-to-Cardbus at slot 00:0a,
mem 0x80000000  host opts [0]: [pci/way] [pci irq 5]
   [lat 32/32] [bus 2/5]"
I've seen that with other kernel too, i receive always an error that is
"spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ 7".

My bios version is phoenix ka.m1.34

I report my lspci below.. as you can see, audio device use irq 5

Thx all

I forgot to explain why in the subject i've written hard disk too..
When, at the boot, every 27 times, it check the file system, some times
(or every time, i don't sure..) it fails... :-( I use ext3.

Ps. i've tried 2.4.18 and 2.4.20 kernels.. i'd like to know if my
problems are solved with the 2.5.* kernel

It should never be failing, on 2.4.18 or 2.5.x with ext3. You should
get log playbacks on a crash and maybe an fsck every 27 if you set the
checking to run that way.

My first guess is you have something corrupting data - bad memory, bad
disk, overclocking or of course a software bug that you happen to hit
and nobody else seems to.

What drivers are you running

If i do:

/var/log# grep -ir fsck *

i don't find anything :-(
is it strange, don't you?

mmmm... my poor new laptop!!! :-/
But there is something strange.. i tried to install debian woody, but
when the installation program starts, my notebook freezes!! So i've
tried knoppix.. and then i've installed it. I'm using it.

> What drivers are you running

I've tried with pcmcia 2.1.33 and now with 3.2.4

thx

I've verified that my ram and hard disk are not bad.. i've used memtest
and disktest..

mmm

I think that it's a problem between my bios, my cardbus bridge (O2 Micro
OZ6912) that manage pcmcia, and my audio card. If pcmcia is enabled in
the kernel, all go straight.. if it isn't, there is a problem with
interrupts.. at the boot time, the kernel says that it waits irq 11 by
cardbus bridge but it receive irq 5. With the pcmcia support in the
kernel all go straight, but with lspci -v I can see that cardbus bridge
uses irq 5 (as my audio card)
