IRQ problem PCMCIA to IDE adapter

[Xavier Douville]

Hi

I just bought a cheap 16 bit PCMCIA IDE adapter.
On Linux 2.6.12 and pcmcia-cs, everything works fine.
But on Linux 2.6.16 and pcmciautils, I get an IRQ error (IRQ 17)
I tried "exclude irq 17" in my config.opts without success.
I am running Debian GNU/Linux testing on an Asus Z71A laptop.

and yes I tried booting with irqpoll, noapic, acpi=noirq
