Hi everybody...
<Note : I'm not suscribed to the mailing list>
My trusty P90 (54MB, CMD640) is not very happy with the latest
2.3.X kernels (2.3.40 -> 2.3.99-pre1). The following bugs have been
verified with kernel 2.3.99-pre1 just a few minute ago...
First of all, the hp100 driver complains :
---------------------------
Mar 17 04:47:14 lagaffe kernel: Warning: kfree_skb on hard IRQ c4017647
Mar 17 04:47:17 lagaffe last message repeated 4 times
---------------------------
Then, the Pcmcia module i82365.o lock the computer hard when
loaded at startup (sorry, no log).
When I disable both Pcmcia and the hp100 driver, I still have
the following crash, which occur for example when I try to untar,
patch or compile a kernel (none of these actions can never complete
without a crash).
After the crash, most things don't work, but I can usually
reboot the system. Sometime, I can manage to capture some log of the
crash :

The same config work beautifully with 2.2.X.
