Description Brian Millett 2008-09-13 14:05:27 UTC

Description of problem: 2 symptoms. 1) System hangs at boot while "Starting UDEV:"  and 2) I have a PCMCIA CF card adaptor.  If I take it out, then the system will boot, but when I plug in the card, it fails to mount.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.fc9.i686

How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. have PCMCIA card inserted
2. boot and watch freeze
3.
  
Actual results:
1) System hangs at boot while "Starting UDEV:"  and 2) I have a PCMCIA CF card adaptor.  If I take it out, then the system will boot, but when I plug in the card, it fails to mount.

Expected results:


Additional info: when I plug in the pcmcia adaptor I get the following in messages:

Comment 1 Alan Cox 2008-09-22 14:51:58 UTC

Fixed. Rather obscure bug in the pcmcia code. Will send the patch to Linus hopefully to make 2.6.27

So far it's good.  Booted and can access it, unmount, eject and remount all works fine.  The only problem is with the instructions.  "su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kernel'"  The repo is updates-testing-newkey
