>Description:
A warm reboot hangs if there are any pcmcia card inserted.
This appears to have started after Warner did the
"pcic pci attachments merged from current" (Wed Aug 15 14:37:59 2001)
but I cannot be sure.
When I reboot (and I think halt and press key for reboot) the system
shuts down normally but as it comes back up the BIOS prints something
like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------
then it hangs. Normally the next thing in a warm reboot is something
about "Mouse initialized" but it does not get to there.
If I remove both cards then the reboot works normally.
So I assume that ejecting cards does something to controller that
reboot/halt does not and leaves them in a strange state.
>How-To-Repeat:
Type reboot (or halt then press a key) with a pcmcia card inserted.
>Fix:
Eject cards before rebooting :-(
