The card is detected, but a bit later, the kernel freezes. This only happens when the serial port extender box is actually connected to the card. (There is a host adapter, that you connect with a SCSI type cable to an external box that has all the serial ports.) Also, when I first got the problem, the system freezed on the probe of an unused ethernet driver. I removed that driver from the kernel, and the it freezed on something else, so I conclude that it just freezes some time after the probe of the cy. In the kernel config, I have just added "device cy" and commented out unused an added some unrelated things, I don't think it's relevant, I also tried GENERIC with just cy added. Any ideas what I can do ? (I searched google and the pr database) Thanks, Wim Livens.
