dlublink:  Thanks for all the work you are doing trying to track this
down.  Here is what little information I have related to your comments:

I am currently running Gutsy with 2.6.22-14 on a Thinkpad 770Z with a
16-bit MA401 card.  The Thinkpad does have a serial port.  The bug
exists, and the workaround works.

It panics when booting either normal or single user with the card
installed.  It panics when the card is inserted while running in single
user mode.  It does not panic when the card is inserted after a normal
boot.  However, it also does not always configure the card correctly.
Often (usually?) I need to manually ifdown/ifup to get network.

Somewhere along the line, something changed so that KDM no longer starts
automatically on boot when the workaround is in place, but can be
started manually.  When the workaround is removed, it does start
automatically.  Don't understand why that is, since it used to work, but
it's probably not terribly important.

I tried to get a kern.log when booting with the card inserted, but when
I then rebooted without the card and looked in kern.log, I couldn't find
any entries from the failed boot, only from the second, successful boot.
Is there something special I need to do to get that log?
