I'm running into a strange problem with 8-current (or 8.0-RELEASE) on an elderly Thinkpad 600E.
As long as I'm using the GENERIC kernel, an Intel Etherexpress PC card works as expected: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:"; throttling interrupt source xe0: <Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16> at port 0x100-0x10f iomem 0x20000000-0x20000fff irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1 xe0: version 0x45/0x04, 100Mbps capable xe0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:c9:bc:b5:ef xe0: [ITHREAD] However, as soon as I start removing unneeded stuff from the kernel config file, the driver completely jams. It just sits there, the machine blocks, until I eventually pop out the card, when I get the following messages: cbb1: ready never happened, status = 00 xe0: <Intel EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC Card Mobile Adapter16> at port 0x100-0x10f iomem 0x20000000-0x20000fff irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard1 xe0: version 0xff/0x07, 100Mbps capable xe0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:c9:bc:b5:ef xe0: [ITHREAD] xe0: detached cbb1: Bad Vcc requested As the CPU is a little slow, recompiling kernels takes an eternity on it (even with NO_KERNELCLEAN), so I could not isolate it to a single line in the config file so far. Upgrading from 8.0-RELEASE to 8-stable does not change that behaviour. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
