Sad: Hang when inserting card on Sony VAIO Z505S 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Aug 13
From: Liam Quinn LiamQ

I am having the problem described (by someone else) at <http://www.uglx.org/sony-hang.html>: my Sony VAIO Z505S hangs when inserting a PCMCIA card (specifically for a CD-ROM drive in my case). There are no beeps prior to the hang.

I am using pcmcia-cs-3.1.14 as shipped with Linux-Mandrake 7.1's updated 2.2.16 kernel.

I've tried all sorts of PCIC_OPTS, including the suggested fix on the uglx.org site and setting pci_irq_list=9, as well as narrowing the memory (as suggested by the PCMCIA-HOWTO in Section 3.5) to what Windows uses, but I always get the hang.

I can't find anything in my system logs immediately before the hang occurs. Here's what is logged on boot-up (with no card inserted):

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
