Re: [Cooker] PCMCIA card (un)plugging hangs 8.2rc1
I can confirm this on a Gateway Solo 9100 with a Zoom Telephonics pcmcia modem card. Also, trying to use this modem if plugged in at boot time will almost always come up with modem busy with kppp. Ejecting the card will crash the kernel, it starts displaying numbers on the console terminal. Unfortunately, they go by much too fast to catch the message before them. Starting the machine WITHOUT the cards in, and inserting them after the machine is fully up seems to work OK V.

PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:02.1. Yenta IRQ list 06b8, PCI irq0 Socket status: 3011 Yenta IRQ list 06b8, PCI irq0 Socket status: 3011 So it seems that IRQs do not get assigned correctly, but I suspect this is only a symptom of actual problem. I tried with 'devfs=nomount' as well as 'pci=biosirq' (recommended by cardmgr) both separately and together. The problem presists. My case seems to be a bit different from the one reported elsewhere in this thread in that if I boot without the cards and then plug one (does not matter which one) in when the system is up and cardmgr is running, the system does hang.
