System Freeze with Kernel 2.6.0-test5 and PCMCIA 3Com

From: Daniel Luebke
Date: Tue Sep 23 2003 - 08:53:40 EST

Hi everybody!

I just wanted to give the Kernel 2.6-test series a try and (un)fortunately I might be able to help by reporting a bug:
I'm using a HP Omnibook XE3, PIII, 256MB RAM, running without any problems under 2.4.21 (Debian/unstable).
However, when using 2.6.0-test5 and inserting a PCMCIA card, namely a 3COM NIC (3CSH572BT, whoever invents such model names...), my system freezes without kernel oops (no flashing lights etc.) but only printing the line
cs: memory probe 0x0c0000-0x0fffff: excluding 0xc0000-0xcbfff

I attached the information about my system both for 2.4.21 (with inserted card) and for the 2.6 (obviously without card :-)

If some more information is needed please mail me.

With best regards

Daniel Luebke Linux version 2.4.21-5-686 (herbert@gondolin) (gcc version 3.3.1 20030626 (Debian prerelease)) #1 Sun Aug 24 15:25:33 EST 2003
