Description of Problem:

I have found at least two problems with the errata kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0 on 8.0
(these apply to the version compiled for 7.2 as well when run on a 7.2 system):

(1) The system hangs when starting up or shutting down. I unfortunately cannot
reproduce the hang when it starts up any longer, but seemed to occur towards the
end of the initscripts for runlevel 3. The hang during the shutdown is
reproduceable everytime and occurs right at the end of the shutdown sequence
(when pcmcia services are brought down, but before all processes are killed).
Rebooting with the original kernel solved the problem in both cases.

(2) Odd sounds coming from the system. I know this seems a little odd, but there
were be audible squeaks and squeals that seem to come from the system's
speakers. Again, older kernels did not have this problem.

Both problems occur on a Dell Latitude CPx laptop (P3 650, 192 MB of RAM, Xircom
Realport PCMCIA card with 10/100+modem, 8 MB Rage Mobility video, Maestro 3
audio). They do not occur on any other system I have tried this kernel on.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.4.18-17.8.0
