I guess I'll repeat part of my earlier question: does the zip card behave differently if you insert it by itself? (I want to see if it still fails when it gets irq 3, which appears to be ok, since the modem card works with that) For the hot swap problem, I can't tell what's going on from this description. It does not seem to be a frequent problem: I have not seen any similar bug reports, and I can't reproduce it. You could try following the instructions in the PCMCIA-HOWTO for tracing lockups, if you are curious. You can also try excluding the IO port range 0x100-0x10f in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts, in case you are seeing an IO port conflict. If that also doesn't help, then I'm not sure what else to suggest. The kernel IDE driver is not giving much in the way of useful diagnostic information. -- Dave |
