    Note that since ide-cs has problems with SMP it will have problems with
    PREEMPT as well...

    A now old report...
    http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/ide/28.html?nogifs

    I have seen problems like this recently (2.4.21) and thought I have read this
    somewhere more recent - but can not find it. I will create a bug report.
    (Summary: Freezes with SMP, same kernel works with option nosmp)
    Remember that drivers that are not SMP safe won't be PREEMPT safe either.

    Anyway there are interrupt related PCMCIA problems...
