Subject:   PCcard support broken in 4.4-R
Message-ID:  <nospam-1011871604.65806@bambi.gbch.net>

I have a new laptop that worked fine with 4.3-R, but would not
boot 4.4-R until I followed the suggestion in the release notes
section "2.1.6 PCCARD Support" which suggested putting the
following in /boot/loader.conf:

    hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
    hw.pcic.irq="0"

It certainly fixed the panic on boot problem, but apparently at
the expense of PCcard operation.  Now, on every boot, whether
there is a card inserted or not, it says:

    mercury /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
    mercury /kernel: pcic0: Static bug detected, ignoring hardware.

And then, if I put a card in, it indeed ignores it.  The cards
work fine under that other program loader and at least two of
them worked fine under 4.3-R.

Is there anything at all I can try that might allow me to use
them under 4.4-R or do I really have to downgrade to 4.3 to get
things working again?

I have many reasons for not wanting to go back to 4.3, so that
would be very much a last resort for me.

Thanks in advance for any bright ideas.

Greg
