Description of Problem: ATA Sandisk from digi-cam would only not get recognized, but immediately would lock up the machine whether upon booting, or card insertion. How Reproducible: Plug in card before or after boot for complete lockup requiring manual reset. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in card & boot: machine lockup resulted. Or... 2. Boot machine, log in & plug in card: machine lockup resulted. 3. Actual Results: Locked up machine Expected Results: A recognized card. Additional Information: First, my apologies that I could not get more specific within the 'application' section of the bug reporting. It seems that a particular file is responsible for this behaviour, as outlined below: I have finally isolated the cause of this problem, though I missed it over the last three weeks, or more (it was very obvious, so easily missed :-\ ). The file, /etc/pcmcia/config.opts has the line, 'exclude irq 3' was commented out, apparently causing the system to lock on boot --even though that IRQ is not ultimately used, according to the 'Information' within the Control Ctr application. I also added the line, 'exclude irq 9' in compliance w/an How-to concerning Toshiba notebook models 40xx... though mine is not a 40xx. Bottom Line: I am wondering if the 'exclude irq 3' was intentional, or an oversight...? It makes all the difference in being able to mount an ATA/IDE memory card vs having the machine go into la-la land.
Nothing to do with the 'redhat-release' package.
