Description of problem:
complete machine locks up, but after 20s it comes back to life.
The inserted CompactFlash appears to work (after the machine
recovers).  The problem was reproduced with 3 types of CompactFlash.
Exactly the same hardware (machine, CF-adapter, CF) works perfectly
with Red Hat 7.3.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert pcmcia CF-adapter (with CF)
2.
3.
   

Actual Results:  pcmcia system beeps once, machine completely freezes for 20s
(mouse-cursor doesn't move, remote connections to the machine stall etc.).
After the approx. 20s you get the second pcmcia beep and machine returns
to normal.  The kernel has generated these error messages:

hdc: task_no_data_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdc: task_no_data_intr: error=0x00 { }

and after the errors the normal messages like:

hdc: 251904 sectors (129 MB) w/1KiB Cache, CHS=492/16/32
 hdc: hdc1 hdc2
ide_cs: hdc: Vcc = 3.3, Vpp = 0.0


Expected Results:  No 20s delay with freezing and no IDE error message.

Additional info:

Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop (1.2 GHz PIII)

(everything works flawlessly with RH 7.3 !)
