Re[2]: [linuxsh-dev] System reset while INIT processing

[Masahiro A. <m-...@aa...>]

Thank you for your reply, David and Dustin. I'm a little bit relieved
that I'm not alone.

Additional info (may be related to this matter):
Our board has SMC91C96 Ethernet controller. It worked fine with 2.4.5
kernel. With current kernel, the driver hangs in the middle of
initialization (in smc_findirq, at outb just after SMC_DELAY). So, I'm
temporarily not using it now.

Last night I've checked out latest source from CVS (it's 2.4.7-pre6 now),
and tried it. As expected, behavior of the system is same as yesterday.
I've tried to disable CONFIG_CF_ENABLER and enable SMC91C96, but it
hangs in smc_findirq.

If I comment "outb" out in smc_findirq, it passes driver initialization.
I can see message with probed IRQ, base address, etc. This is with
CONFIG_CF_ENABLER enabled.
