Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system with 2.4.18-17.8.0 kernel 2. Shutdown system in the usual manner (e.g., from desktop logout) Actual Results: System hangs in shutdown, last few lines of output are as follows: Stopping pcmcia: cardmgr[524]: executing: './serial check ttyS3' cardmgr[524]: executing: './serial stop ttyS3' ttyS3 unloaded [hangs at this point] Expected Results: Shutdown messages continue and system halts as normal. Additional info: System information: Dell Latitude CPx J650GT (256MB memory) Dell FlashBIOS version A15 Xircom CreditCard Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56 PC Card Installed RH 8.0 as clean install into using workstation configuration (with minor customizations) and default partitioning.
I'm having the same problem, though mine says Stopping pcmcia: cardmgr[***]: executing: './network stop eth0' <hangs> Looked similar to the bug #52270, but that didn't help. OK if I use the old kernel to boot.
Same behavior here with Toshiba 550CDT and Xircom 10/100 Ethernet. Works normally with old kernel.
I am also experiencing this problem using a Sony PCG-F690K and a Xircom 10/100 ethernet/modem card that worked fine with the old kernel.
I didn't mention it but my system is a Sony PCG-F670 with a Xircom 10/100 Ethernet card. Looks like it's a problem specific to Xircom cards?
