does this still happen in 2.4.20-2.27 as is available in rawhide ?
With 2.4.20-2.27 Now no kernel dont freeze but module don't load Jan 29 20:10:12 Maus kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 Jan 29 20:10:12 Maus kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] Jan 29 20:10:12 Maus kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 02:04.0. Please try using pci=biosirq. Jan 29 20:10:12 Maus kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 02:04.1. Please try using pci=biosirq. Jan 29 20:10:12 Maus kernel: unloading Kernel Card Services pci=biosirq does no matter BUT this kernel do not propper shut down it hangs after doing killall when sending SIGTERM last message is Sending all precesses the TERM signal ...
reboot hang is a known (and now fixed) other, unrelated bug. It looks like your bios doesn't provide the proper $PIR table for irq routing to your cardbus controller..... not a lot we can do about that.
adding acpi patch acpi-20021205-2.4.20.diff to 2.4.20-2.21 will solve the IRQ routing problem. This patch applies to the redhat kernel with only one reject in arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c failing insert #include <linux/acpi.h> For toshiba laptops it is also advised to add patch relaxed-aml.patch from http://home.mn.rr.com/richardsons/toshiba-1115-s103
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists.
