[parisc-linux] 715/50 hang - more info

[Bob Pflederer]

When I was trying out a C180, I ran into problems in about the same point
in boot.  In my case it turned out to be a problem in the lasi_82596
driver.  It was executing the interrupt handler before the driver was finished
being initialized.  You might try editing lasi_82596.c to make i596_debug
10:

#define I82596_DEBUG 10

#ifdef I82596_DEBUG
int i596_debug = I82596_DEBUG;
#else
int i596_debug = 1;
#endif

This will get you lots more debug messages from the driver so you can see
if it's doing something funny.  I have a hacked version of lasi_82596.c
that may have worked around this problem and some others that I was finding,
but I'm not really sure what state it's in (it may not even compile) as I 
haven't had time to play with it in over a month.  I'll email it to you so 
you can see if it takes you any further.
