Hi,

I am using a Dell inspiron 7000 laptop with linux-2.4.0-test1 with
two PCMCIA cards, a Psion gold card V90 modem and a 3COM
3C589C ethernet card. I encountered the following problems:

- The machine freezes after a reboot if the ethernet iterface is
  configured. I must turn off the power, then restart the system.
  The boot sequence stops after the following message is printed
  on the console:

  Adding cardbus controller 0: Texas Instruments PCI1220
  PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:04.0
  PCI: The same IRQ used for device 01:00.0

- if, after a dial up connection via ppp, I kill the pppd daemon
   (2.3.11) the machine (almost always) reboots.

- I am running IBM-DB2 on this machine. The perl interface to the DB
  (DBD-DB2-0.73) stops working under 2.4.0-test1. Better, it works only
  if the caller is the instance owner. I think because of shared
  memory issues.

- APM does not work. With 2.2.15 folding the cover it is enough to
  suspend the system. With 2.4.0-test1 nothing happens.

I enclose my kernel configuration.
