Hi,

Till recently I had kernel panics upon inserting a PCMCIA card (Sierra
Wireless AirCard 555) in the cardslot. There are two PRs' opened for
this, #5239, and #5577. I synced the src sometime last week, and with
the new kernel I no longer hit the panic, but the boot process hangs
at "Starting tty flags". Without the card, boot goes through fine. I
searched the web for a possible solution, and came across this FUQ on
monkey.org http://monkey.org/openbsd/FUQ/other/ttyflags.html, which
talks about this. It appears that the same problem has surfaced again.

I know this workaround of not having the card in the cardslot (it does
not work anyways, as it cannot allocate some i/o space!), so I am not
blocked. What I wanted to check whether this warrants a PR, as it
appears to be a regression. Alternately, now that the kernel panic has
gone, I'd like to get the card working - but cannot do that because of
some i/o space issue. Has anyone managed to get this card working with
the latest src/? Thanks in advance.
