Description of problem:
I have 2 Intel Jarrell System with Chipset E7520 ( DDR2 memory ).
Both system work with kernels upto kernel-smp-2.6.6-*

If I use a kernel 2.6.7* or 2.6.8* the system does not boot -
the system hangs starting pcmcia, 
also eth0 interface is not started.

If I configure 
chkconfig pcmcia off

then the system hangs in cups .

smells like broken irq routing....

Comment 3 Winfrid Tschiedel 2004-09-15 10:30:42 UTC
I could solve the problem with a hardware change -
I replaced the SCSI backplane (beta level) with
a SCSI backplane (silver level) and did also a firmware update 
for the backplane.

I think, that we can close this issue now.

Take care,

Winfrid

thanks for confirming that this is fixed.
however please in the future consider mentioning the beta state of the
hardware/firmware in the original report. Thanks.
