[iPAQ] 2.4.2 PCMCIA/CF IRQ problems

Hi all!
Using the current CVS kernel snapshot (03/29) I have problems with
PCMCIA or compact flash cards. For example a CF flash card is recognized
once, after a few seconds I get a kernel message that:

        irq_desc[irq].action = 0
        disabled irq 42

and after that the card is dead. After removal and insertion again I get
lots of

        ide0: ports already in use, skipping probe

and finally failling initialization.
A CF ethernet card (Kingston - which used to work with 2.4.0) works for
a few seconds and I get the above mentioned "disabled irq..." messages
and the card is dead again. Here a removal and re-insertion works; but
just for few seconds.
I have no real idea what the reason might be and hope that someone else
does; especially the person that did the changes to the IRQ or PCMCIA
stuff ;))

Anyway, just thought I'd let you know...

PS: I also noticed that the power button now suspends and resumes,
great! Just the X-Server does not seem to be very happy about this.
After resume the screen is blanked (i.e. LCD off) for some reason and if
the screen was on at suspend time it will not come back on after resume
since the X-server still thinks it is already on ;) Maybe we should just
keep the LCD on after resume... (on resume it is switched on for about a
10th of a second)
