           Summary: Repeatable hang on boot with PCMCIA card present
    Kernel Version: 2.6.17+
            Status: NEW
          Severity: high
             Owner: linux-pcmcia at lists.infradead.org
         Submitter: tarka at internode.on.net


Most recent kernel where this bug did *NOT* occur: 2.6.16.23
Distribution: Ubuntu Edgy
Hardware Environment: Dell Inspiron 8100 + Linksys WPC11

With recent kernel releases I have started seeing consistent hangs during boot
when a PCMCIA card is present in the slot (the card in question is a Linksys
WPC11).  The symptoms are:

    If the card is present during boot an error of "Unknown interrupt or fault
at EIP ..." appears.

    If the card is not present there is no error.

    The card can be plugged-in post-boot without problems.

Using git-bisect I have narrowed down the error to one commit, namely "use
bitfield instead of p_state and state".  The commit# is

    e2d4096365e06b9a3799afbadc28b4519c0b3526

However I am still seeing this problem with the latest -RC releases, including
2.6.19-rc6.
