I had the same problem, same configuration TP390X 2626MOU, w/512MB RAM. Found this fix, and it works great. No more "infinite loop...." messages, apm problems, etc..But, if I make this change, my xircom card no longer works. Commenting out the line and restarting pcmcia enables my card, but I get the same problems (obviously)....any ideas?

That doesn't make much sense

I'm not sure I understand.  If you had the original problem, your
system should have barely been functional, but you say your Xircom
card worked??

You should include much more detail.  What Xircom card is this, and
what are your system log messages in the good and bad configurations?

Also you say that just commenting out the fix and restarting PCMCIA
makes your card work.  That shouldn't be possible: commenting out that
line should have no effect until you do a cold boot.  Maybe just
restarting PCMCIA is what "fixed" things?

Idea: Actually you only did part of the fix

You added the startup parameter... but you missed the part about upgrading your PCMCIA drivers. The cb_mem_base parameter is not available in your 3.1.8 PCMCIA drivers. It will work better if you upgrade (3.1.15 is current)

Ok: fixed
