Any luck getting the pcmcia module fixed in etch? Yes, I have a patch that appears to fix the relocation problem in rsrc_nonstatic; I was hoping to find a fix for 410933, but those are different relocation errors entirely and so far I haven't found enough documentation of the relocation types to find the bug. Anyway, for the non-SMP problem, the attached patch does the trick. I don't expect it to make it into etch r0, but will certainly aim for it to be in the first point release. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
