Can you compile the kernel with kallsyms info? That would make the output a whole lot more readable.



first, load the following two modules

modprobe ehci_hcd, then
modprobe yenta_socket

then a dmesg extract, now with kallsyms:

The same problem occurs if the Adapter is inserted after the yenta
module is loaded. That is, load the yenta_socket module: no problem,
then physically insert the Adapter: same problem.



Can you test with another type of card, just to see if it is specific to that particular driver, or it happens with any card insertion event?




Yes, a PRISM54 PCMCIA (WL54G) card seems to work in the slot. With it :

IRQ 11 is showing 92 interrupts, vs. 100000 when the USB 2.0 Adapter card is in the slot instead of the Prism54 card.

Here is the USB Adapter card:

This same Adapter card works fine in a different pentium shoebox computer using the same kernel and root file system as the "problem embedded pentium" system, but with a different CARDBUS chipset.



It's entirely possible that they have different behaviours for screaming interrupts and/or just different setup.

I can't tell what your handlers are, but there are two of them, and they are the same, which makes me strongly suspect that it's just the two "yenta_socket" handlers for the two slots (sharing the same interrupt).

Which implies that when the card was inserted and powered on, it started enabling the interrupt early, before the low-level driver had had a chance to register _its_ interrupt handler.

Hmm. That would be "PCI_CLASS_SERIAL_USB", but clearly:



Yes, in addition to the CARDBUS slots, into which I want to insert this card:

http://link-depot.com/pcb-u22.html

there is also an onboard USB support, but not 2.0 USB.



root@EMBEDDED[~]# cat /proc/interrupts
CPU0
11: 98681 XT-PIC yenta, yenta



No USB driver there, so the driver never even loaded. The problem probably happened immediately on card insertion, and is likely card-indepdendent. But it would be nice to have that confirmed by testing.


The console dumps from my original posting were done without first loading ehci_hcd. Today you can see above ehci_hcd was loaded first, but this does not fix the problem.

Thank you!
