If you install FreeBSD without the card inside, can you recompile
a custom kernel without any drivers you don't need, then insert
the card, and reboot to see if it hangs again with just the PCMCIA
and network drivers that you need?

G'luck,

OK, so this seems like a real pccard hang.

Hi,

I'm afriad it has the same results.
I tried this with the 4.2 version of FreeBSD, same result...

Cheers -- Robin

Can I impose upon you to try FreeBSD 4.4-RC2 when it comes out this
weekend?

Hi,

Are you using the docking station by any chance? If you are using a
docking station, you can not use the PCMCIA slots while docked. This
seems to be a conflict with bus on the docking station.

If not, I am pretty sure this is an IRQ conflict. I had the same
issue with my CPxJ 650.  You can fix this by resolving the conflict in
the kernel by running boot -c at the boot loader prompt and disabling
unnecesary drivers or adjusting the irqs to resolve the conflict or by
building a new kernel.

I have been running FreeBSD 4.X-STABLE on this laptop since 4.0.

I currently do not have access to my dell laptop at the moment, so I
can not give you the details of my configuration.  If the above doesn't
resolve this issue for you let me know and I will look up what I did
to resolve it.

Cheers,
