>Description:
Inserting a Microtech "digital flashfilm" adaptor with a 4-meg
smartmedia card will cause the kernel to hang for 40 seconds.
>How-To-Repeat:
insert pcmcia card
bang on keysboard
wait 40 seconds
see your output magically appear.
during the hang db says (copied by hand):
gettick()
delay()
__wdcwait_reset()
wdcprobe()
wdcattach()
wdc_pcmcia_attach()
config_attach()
config_found_sm()
pcmcia_card_attach()
cardslot_event_thread()
Bad Fram pointer: (hmmm...)
>Fix:
don't spin-wait in the wdc code waiting for this slow card to get
its act together.
