This is the second report like this I've seen. I have experienced the
same thing, and I have a Buslogic 445C. My card is located at 0x334
(found as bt1); I'd like to know if yours is the same.
I've tracked the problem down to the uha driver. Something in the uha
probe violently disagrees with the presence of a BusLogic 445[SC], and
the system hangs.
I haven't had time to track it further. But this is a show-stopping
bug for anyone with a BT445[SC], and needs to be fixed ASAP.
