Hi,
I've had exactly the same problem when I started "playing" with
pcmciautils a few days ago. The latest version of pcmcia-cs (3.2.8-6)
depends on pcmciautils, so I'm afraid this package might have
triggered the problem in the original report too. (But it also solved
an issue I had with my prism54 wifi card.)
I've tried to follow some of the suggestions so here are my results.
Without any modifications, I did this while CPU usage was close to 100%:
udevinfo -a -p /block/hde >hdebad
The after reboot (because I had a kernel oops when trying "pccardctl
eject 1". See below.) I removed the link to z20_persistent.rules and
did:
udevinfo -a -p /block/hde >hdegood
Then:
diff -u hdebad hdegood
--- hdebad 2006-01-29 09:35:06.000000000 +0100
+++ hdegood 2006-01-29 09:44:08.000000000 +0100
@@ -8,7 +8,7 @@
looking at device '/block/hde':

I have no idea if this can help or not fixing the bug. udevinfo -a -p
/block/hde/hde1 returns nothing interesting in the first case.
Below is the "OOPS" I got, in case it might help. Some messages were
probably generated while I was trying to halt the machine.
