	Machine is Dell Inspiron 3500

>Description:
	A warm reboot hangs if there are any pcmcia card inserted.
	This appears to have started after Warner did the
	"pcic pci attachments merged from current" (Wed Aug 15 14:37:59 2001)
	but I cannot be sure.

	When I reboot (and I think halt and press key for reboot) the system
	shuts down normally but as it comes back up the BIOS prints something
	like:

	----------------------------------------------------------------------
	Phoenix Bios 4.0 Release 6.0
	Copyright 1985-1998 Phoenix Technolgies Ltd
	All rights reserved

	Inspiron 3500 A400GT BIOS Rev A11
	----------------------------------------------------------------------

	then it hangs.  Normally the next thing in a warm reboot is something
	about "Mouse initialized" but it does not get to there.

	If I remove both cards then the reboot works normally.

	So I assume that ejecting cards does something to controller that
	reboot/halt does not and leaves them in a strange state.


>How-To-Repeat:
    Type reboot (or halt then press a key) with a pcmcia card inserted.

>Fix:
    Eject cards before rebooting :-(
