From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: After installation of Redhat 9 I have created a dialup internet connection using the Internet connection wizard or the Network configuration tool. The device I use is the Fritz ISDN PCMCIA A1 card on a Compaq Evo N910 laptop. I can browse the internet (i.e., I can activate the network connection). I can hang up the connection afterwards. However, the computer hangs during shutdown when PCMCIA or ISDN services are being stopped. The same happens if you run >>cardctl eject<< on the command line or if you stop either the PCMCIA or the ISDN service using the Services tool (redhat-config-services). It does not matter whether or not you hang up the connection before trying either of the steps above - in either case the system becomes un-responsive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-18.9 and 2.4.20-19.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Redhat Linux 9 (Lite Edition from the RedHat Magazine) 2. Plugin a Fritz ISDN PCMCIA card (A1) 3. Create a network connection (dialup) 4. Dial up the connection. OBSERVE: Everything works fine - you can browse the internet. 5.1 Hang up the connection or let it run and shut down the machine OBSERVE: System hangs as soon as either ISDN or PCMCIA service is stopped. 5.2 Try to unload the card using cardctl eject or the redhat-config-services tool OBSERVE: System becomes unresponsive as well. Actual Results: System hangs and becomes unresponsive Expected Results: System should not hang but cardmgr should gracefully exit the service. Additional info: I give this high priority because, if you have a ext2 file system this behaviour will trigger a file system check each time you reboot the laptop - this is not acceptable.
