After booted, if card is inserted, system hangs too. I have tried all bios pcmcia configurations possible (PCIC compatible, CardBus/16-bit and Auto select). My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite 2100CDS, with AMD K6-2 400MHz processor and 288MB RAM. No additional kernel module was installed or configure after O.S. installation. I would appreciate any help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.9-1.667 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Insert card 2.Turn on laptop or 1.Turn on laptop 2. Insert card after booted Actual Results: System freezes. Expected Results: PCMCIA card recognized. Additional info:
Please retry on an errata kernel. 2.6.9 is pretty ancient now, and a lot of stuff has changed.
