Description Ben Lentz 2003-11-10 20:49:45 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)

Description of problem:
When using Red Hat Linux 9.0.93 running kernel 2.4.21 with a 3Com 
3c574TX PCMCIA NIC, the pcmcia init script fails with the following 
error:

kernel: 3c574_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use

The problem doesn't appear to be with my hardware: Installing the 
2.4.20 kernel on this system from Red Hat Linux 9.0 resolves the 
problem. There appears to be a compatibility issue between 2.4.20 and 
2.4.21 relating to pcmcia.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.ntpl

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Red Hat Linux 9.0.93
2. Start the system with a 3c574 PCMCIA NIC
3. Observe the errors on startup as the pcmcia init script is called
4. The NIC is unavailable.
    

Actual Results:  Error messages were produced both on the console and 
in /var/log/messages as the system booted and tried to loan the card 
services.

Expected Results:  I expected the card services to load properly, 
making the NIC available in userland.

This kernel version is actually from Fedora test1. It's _very_ old
now, and as such bug reports against it are useless in a lot of cases.
Can you reproduce this on the final version of Fedora ?
