modprobe hangs on isdn (2.4.10 and 1.4.13)

modprobe hangs on isdn (2.4.10 and 1.4.13)

[arjen]

Hi All,

after a period of instability due to SMP and a
3Com ethernet card I upgraded to 2.4.10. But
now the system consistantly hangs on boot
during the modprobe of the hisax/isdn module.
Hanging means total lockup of the system (no
dump, nothing).

The same happens in 2.4.13.  The card works fine
in another (uniprocessor) system. The
ISDN card is a HFC-PCI. Changing position
of the PCI cards doesn't help.

Looks like a kernel problem to me.

Any suggestions

  Arjen

When exactly does the hang happen?
Can you try
modprobe isdn
modprobe hisax type=27 [or any wrong type]
modprobe hisax type=21 [or whichever card type is right for you]

I suppose the hang happens during the last modprobe, right?

Which was the last kernel version which worked for you?
