Thanks for the thoughts. I guess the problem is with interactions
between kernel-pcmcia and with the latest rawhide
kernel-2.4.22-1.2044.nptl.athlon and also with the previous kernel
version kernel-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl.athlon
Kernel version -- kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl works perfectly and
the following rawhide version worked with pcmcia, but had lockup and/or
long delay problems with mozilla.
To Dave Jones:
>What kernel version ?
Ever since the number versioning change. This probably isn't the reason,
unless pcmcia-kernel is looking for this particular numbering scheme
from the past. both my current kernel version
kernel-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl and Arjan's kernel-2.6.0-0.test3.1.31
work alright. It is only the latter.
>Try booting with pci=noacpi
I'll try that to see if it gets the newer kernels to boot properly.
Thanks! I would much rather have it work without the editing, but I want
to be able to test out mozilla to see if this lockup or slowdown is
still with the later kernel versions.
