This HP Pavilion 4400 series laptop has the following chipsets: 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab0 (rev 13) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 01) 00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV] 00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation Intel 537 [M5457 AC-Link Modem] 00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.

As soon as I insert a CardBus card (so far, I've tried an Intel e100 10/100 NIC and a Linksys orinoco_cs wireless NIC -- both work with severn in other laptops), the machine locks up completely. If I boot the machine with acpi=off and have no CardBus cards inserted, it hangs when the pcmcia init script runs

With conversations on the rhl-beta list. I tried out my PCMCIA card for my TravelScan portable PCMCIA scanner. I believe that the card was recognozed. I got two beeps. I also got this in my /proc/bus/pccard/drivers file (Serial driver) [jim@jcsevern pccard]$ cat /proc/bus/pccard/drivers serial_cs 0 0 My laptop seems to use similar drivers for most cases. My problem is the device is not recognized in the scanner program. If you haven't done so yet, Check for a newer BIOS for your laptop. my kernel version is below: kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl I have a OZ6912 Cardbus controller listed under my PCMCIA and PC card entries, under the harware browser. This uses the yenta_socket driver. good luck! Jim C.
here is my /sbin/lspci output. 00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab0 (rev 13) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 01) 00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 02) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV] 00:08.0 Modem: ALi Corporation Intel 537 [M5457 AC-Link Modem] 00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.

If I add exclude irq 1 exclude irq 2 exclude irq 3 exclude irq 4 exclude irq 8 exclude irq 9 exclude irq 10 exclude irq 11 exclude irq 12 exclude irq 13 exclude irq 14 exclude irq 15 to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts it solves many of the problems. Interrupt routing issues? Once I've added all the IRQ exclusions, I get the following behavior: * insertion of the first card is not autodetected. I must use cardctl insert to get the card seen. Once I've done that, if I cardctl eject and insert a new card, or reinsert the same card, it's autodetected * if an orinoco_cs is the first card inserted, it still hangs the system hard * if I insert an e100 first, use it, eject it, then put in the orinoco_cs, it usually (though not always ;-) works. Occasionally, that still hangs the system, however
please attach output of acpidmp

Thanks for the dump data. Looks like this is a typical AML code. We should be able to reproduce this with our machines.
please check if latest kernel resolve your problem. and please provide the dmesg and lspci output. thanks.
I can't, as I no longer have that laptop
