Indeed.

It's mysterious.
So 2.6.13 doesn't see cardbus bridge functions 06:09.1 and 06:09.3,
which means that these devices are not on the per-bus device list.
OTOH, they are still visible on the global device list, since yenta
driver found them. No surprise that it crashes with some uninitialized
pointer.

Did you find the reason for this already?
We have a similar report:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113778
...
It dies in yenta_config_init because dev->subordinate is NULL.
...
I had the same problem with an ACER 8101 WLMI. I reverted the initialization
partly and it works now, but I don't know if it really fixes the bug.
Something seems to wrong in the pci initcode.

But other hardware errors with the acer notebook still remain. The detection
of the ioapic results in a deadlock in the boot process (the
multiple-ioapic-fix or "noapic" solved this).

yenta related:
- pccard hardware is working now
- O2 Micro 4-1 cardreader is not working

Does someone have ideas, configs or patches for the cardreader? Do you need more info? Let me know.
