Description Lee Leahu 2003-11-14 17:08:20 UTC

PCMCIA card = Xircom RealPort Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56 (REM56G-100)
Laptop = IBM Thinkpad 600E
pcmcia service is running
network interface configured and running
kernel menu configurator running inside of screen on console

simply remove the card w/o shutting down interface or pcmcia service - kernel panic

I'm seeing this problem as well, on 2.4.22-gentoo-r1, also on a 600E.  It seems that removing any PCMCIA card from the slot causes the kernel panic.  This did not occur with 2.4.20-r8, perhaps because of the gentoo-sources-2.4.20-sched-interrupt patch?

Long time on this bug with no movement. Is this bug still alive? Newer 2.4 kernels still exhibit this?

Marking WONTFIX. seems the problem went away. If this is still an issue, reopen the bug.

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
