Ok: BIOS was not providing PCI interrupt information 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Re: Question: Compaq Laptop M700 hangs when card is inserted or ejected (Atanu Ghosh)
Date: 2000, May 01
From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

This system's BIOS was not providing a complete PCI interrupt routing table, so the PCI drivers were not able to deduce the PCI interrupt assignment for the CardBus bridge. The bridge was still generating PCI interrupts, which locked up the system, because another device shared the same interrupt line, but that device's driver was unable to clear the CardBus bridge interrupt.

The problem was solved by explicitly telling the i82365 module the PCI interrupt assignment, with a startup option of: 

  PCIC_OPTS="pci_irq_list=11,11"

(in this case, the bridge was configured for PCI irq 11)

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.
