Bug in 2.5.47

[Christian Kurz]

Hi,

I found the kernel bug by compiling ISDN and the hisax driver directly 
into the kernel. When I then booted the kernel (via grub) and passed the
option hisax=18,2,Elsa0, the kernel will start booting and suddenly stop
with the following message:

I might have some typos in that output because I had to write it down manually. I then passed the error message to ksymoops and here's the output:

Sorry for the late reply. Anyway, I think that's a known problem (at least 
to me ;). I have a much updated version of hisax here (no more cli()'s),
but it's not quite ready for submission to Linus yet. So it'd be nice if 
you have just a little more patience, I'm working on it, but it'll take 
quite a bit to completely stabilize ISDN again.
