#338 Aspire 1357LMi with TI PCI1410 hangs

[Marco Pallante]

My system is an Acer Aspire 1357LMi. With lspci I have

00:07.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC
card Cardbus Controller (rev 02)

When I turn PCMCIA system on (I use a Slackware 9.1),
the system boots, but after starting PCMCIA, suddenly
the system hangs.
This usually happens no more than 5 minutes after card
manager starts.

No messages are sent to system logger. At boot time,
instead, the output I see is:

Starting PCMCIA services:
Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22

I don't have any PCMCIA card, I never put a card inside.
My kernel is 2.4.22, a standard precompiled kernel
shipped with Slackware.

I hope this bug report can be useful!

The lockup probably means there is another device sharing
PCI irq 5 that is generating interrupts, but has no Linux driver
installed.

My first guess would be that these are ACPI interrupts.

In that case you will need a kernel with ACPI support enabled.

You can also check the output of 'lspci -v' to see if any other
PCI devices are shown as sharing irq 5.
