IRQ problem PCMCIA to IDE adapter

[Alain Prignet]

Hello,

I found this mail on the list archive :
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-pcmcia/2006-June/003677.html

With an archos qdisk pcmcia adaptor, I observe an analogous phenomena :
my pcmcia external disk is working with kernel up to 2.6.12. But not
with the following kernels (it have tested 2.6.14, 2.6.15, 2.6.17.8).

I don't know how to identify the origin of this problem.

I put here the log of kernel 2.6.12 and 2.6.17.8

Sincerly,

Alain Prignet
