pccard problems in 4.1-STABLE

[David Meissner]

I'm having a problem building a kernel after using cvs to upgrade to
4.1-STABLE. The problem seems related to the pccard drivers. Computer is
a new Dell Latitude notebook. After reinstalling a couple of times, here
is the sequence I used for troubleshooting:

Install 4.1-RELEASE from CD.
Copy GENERIC to NEWKERNEL, no changes.
Build and install NEWKERNEL - kernel boots fine, 3c589D NIC works with
no problems.

So far this is to establish that I can build a working kernel.

Use cvsup to track 4.1-STABLE.
Make world - no problems.
Run mergemaster, MAKEDEV - no problems.
Reboot with GENERIC kernel - no problems.

Copy GENERIC to NEWKERNEL, no changes
Build and install NEWKERNEL - system hangs while booting. No error
messages, nothing in logs.
Comment out pccard drivers, rebuild NEWKERNEL.
Kernel boots fine.

I would appreciate any suggestions for further troubleshooting. Thanks
in advance.

hi

i have had the same problem, also on a dell lattitude (CPt 333). 4.1.1-release
installed and booted fine, liked my wavelan card. updating to stable using the
reccomended procedure, which has worked on my other boxen (around oct 6 iirc),
yielded a system with otherwise works fine but hangs hard on card insertion
with no errors printed or logged.
