The problem with locking up on pcmcia is not a problem with the kernel 
version 2.4.22-20.1.2024.2.36 - It locks up mozilla, but boots alright 
and every other tried feature works.

I didn't know if later kernel versions were going to bust my laptop 
again. RH9 and about every other Linux distribution that I have tried 
locked up on pcmcia, for this HP laptop.

Updating to the 2.4.22-1.2040.nptl was intended to test if Mozilla works 
again and not the pcmcia feature.

I did try the *2040.nptl version on my 815 chipset based computer and it 
did not get mozilla working yet on that machine. Thunderbird mailer 
works on the 815 based desktop (P III). I haven't tried Firebird out to 
see if it works yet or not.

My current guess is that it is more related to the browser than the 
mailer. But this machine still has a busted GNOME. (Since the nptl 
series of kernels and post 2.5.68 developmental kernels. This happened 
on RH9. Severn was always busted)

I'll try to seperate all of the issues for submitting bug reports. Both 
for the laptop and then for the desktop.

Thanks,

Jim
