Ok, I've assigned IRQ 10 to the PCMCIA controller. "dmesg | grep -i irq" and "vmstat -i" show 10 as free. So the system boots up fine with or without the card in it. When I insert the card or it gets detected on bootup, the system beeps and prints out "pccard: card inserted, slot 0" to the console. It then prints out some pccardd messages that it has matched CEM56, which looks right. It then prints out: xe0 at port 0x2e8-0x2ef iomem 0xd0000-0xd0fff irq 3 slot 0 on pccard0 and hangs the system. If I go to eject the card, the system comes back with: kernel trap 19 with interrupts disabled. Then prints out a fatal trap and tries to reboot. Ideas?
