Hi Tobias, Tobias & Sarah Netzel wrote: > I would be glad if you tested it and reported your experiences. I tried your kernel yesterday morning and it worked fine as usual. I am now able to insert/eject the 3com 10/100 Ethernet PCMCIA card several times during runtime (on any slot), without any lockups or lost hda interrupts. The card was properly detected and initialized. It didn't worked for my WLAN PCMCIA (Netgear MA401RA). Though there weren't any lost hda interrupts any more. The card works of course when it is inserted before boot. For my MacSense MPC-10 Ethernet PCMCIA I still get lost hda interrupts. However the system was still responsive but unusable. I havn't tried the card for month so I do not know whether it worked at all with other kernels (I will tried it again tonight). And then the bad came :) I had to reboot the PowerBook and it hung on the EXT3 FS check on all further reboots (with any kernel). IMHO the FS check didn't start at all. I tried to repair using fsck.ext3 from the Sarge installer however this effevtively wiped all data. Leaving me with hundreds of items in lost+found. So I did a complete reinstall of Sarge yesterday evening. Luckily it isn't that bad since I made a data backup a few days ago. (And it contributes to my Mini-HOWTO install Sarge;) And further I don't think that it is related to your latest kernel modifications. I came across the situation of ext3fs-check-lockups on boot often (after unclean shutdowns). Usually it was continued after a reboot. I think we have to figure out what causes problems on ext3-checks during boot. It is usually triggered when the EXT3 is "dirty". And sometimes drives the PMU crazy. (Yes, it happened this time again). Daniel, unfortunately I lost the chat log. I remember most of the information you gave me though. If you don't mind telling it me again I like to know the meaning of the bits described by the lowest 2 bytes in the flags field. Thanks, Florian |
