From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030908 Galeon/1.3.9 Description of problem: Radeon IGP chipsets are having machine check exceptions happen as soon as PCMCIA starts up. The reason for this is that its poking the reserved areas (0x380-0x3ff) even though it shouldn't be, and is marked clearly in the config. Changing the include line from.. include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff to include port 0x100-0x379, port 0x400-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff (Ie, doing the exclude by hand) confirms that this is the problem. Additionally, the range is too wide. It should exclude 0x3b0 -> 0x3bb and 0x3b3->0x3b3. This aparently is the reason why we are having problems with Sony VAIO laptops & their CD drives. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot on RadeonIGP system 2. Start PCMCIA 3. Actual Results: Fatal MCE Expected Results: Boots correctly. Additional info:
<davej> should be 3d3 (not 3b3)
Dave, do we need to build a new kernel-pcmcia-cs?
I think Bill already did, though I've not confirmed this since. I'll look into it.
Bug #104320 also says that a kernel-pcmcia-cs update will fix the bug, but there hasn't been any update....
Confirmed, the exclude list is now being honoured with the default config with the current pcmcia-cs package. No more MCEs...
I still hang if the internal NIC is plugged in at boot-up, which Bug #104320 says is fixed by this exclude list kernel-2.4.22-1.2110.nptl kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13 reopen? something else?
likely something else.
