Subject: [BUG] Shutting down PCMCIA driver in Linux 2.4.1, "Trying to free nonexistent resource <000003e0-000003e1>"

I get this message when shutting down Linux with 2.4.1 kernel,
kernel PCMCIA support compiled as a module.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ cat /proc/ioports
...
03e0-03e1 : i82365
...
$ sudo reboot
(reboot)
$ grep 3e0 /var/log/messages
Feb 4 18:13:44 thanatos kernel: Trying to free nonexistent resource <000003e0-000003e1>

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IIRC, during the shutdown sequences the "Trying ..." message appears just
after the words "Shutting down PCMCIA card services: cardmgr modules".

It's harmless. You can ignore it. It'll be cleaned up, but there are far
more interesting bugs to squash first :)
