Ok, then the ISA / PCMCIA_PROBE code in the 2.6 kernel needs to be fixed
so that it does not cause my machine to hang (or is this situation very
unique / a freak ? ).

Anyone have any tips / ideas how to do that, as a taster of the problem,
the first call to the function
rsrc_mgr.c:void validate_mem(struct pcmcia_socket *s)
causes the hang for me.

I will fetch another PCMCIA card and test it also and maybe another
machine.

PS. 2.4 works fine so something is amiss .....
