Re: PC card RS-232 freezes the computer

Hello

When I insert "2 port RS-232" PC card/PCMCIA/carbus/whatever card
(86x53x6mm with a golden strip with 8 nipples and 2x34 connector) into my
Dell Inspiron 510m notebook with 2.6.16.19, the computer freezes and
continues working when I remove it.

The card label says "2 port RS-232 SUNIX Plug Into A Brand-new World
S/N: CB 0077996 Made in Taiwan"

XMMS before freezing plays last 300ms 3 times again.

dmesg shows
pccard: CardBus card inserted into slot 0
pccard: card ejected from slot 0
MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident occurred on
CPU 0.
Bank 0: b200004000000800

Is the kernel intended to behave this way? If yes, is there a way how
to configure up the kernel so the computer doesn't freeze and the card
can be examined with lspci?

MCE means hardware problem. Perhaps kernel could do something to
prevent it, but...
