It seems Alan still has some very important fixes pending. If so, I'll
release -rc5 tomorrow with your stuff.

Otherwise it will have to wait for .22-pre.

Marcelo,

[Noting that there is no changelog pertaining to PCMCIA in rc4] PCMCIA is still not usable for me with stock 2.4.21-rc4 kernel.
I can reproduce a complete hang (no response whatsoever) with rc3 everytime I boot with the PCMCIA service enabled.

I am patching it with latest ACPI patch from Sourceforge, but turning ACPI off doesn't make a difference.

Of course I can try vendor kernels or -ac, but is PCMCIA something with a priority low enough for such a major bug to be ignored?

(See my earlier post [2.4.21-rc3 PCMCIA serial_cs.c Reproducible Hang] - for complete details)

If anyone is interested I am ready to provide all details and experiment further.

Parag
