Subject: [bug] cops/atalk hung bootup with 2.6.23-rc4


with a random config kernel i'm getting this during bootup:

[   23.061449] cops.c:v0.04 6/7/98 Jay Schulist <jschlst@...ba.org>
[   23.067416] lt0: cops at 0x240, IRQ 5, in Tangent mode
[   23.106029] lt0: Bad packet length of 65535 bytes.

[   23.258655] lt0: Bad packet length of 65535 bytes.

ad infinitum, with occasional OOMs:

[  279.437756] swapper: page allocation failure. order:5, mode:0x4020

[  279.487836]  [<c0106b3b>] common_interrupt+0x23/0x28

and a hung bootup. Config and bootlog attached. I guess the core problem 
is that somehow the the cops driver got registered to IRQ5:

[   23.067416] lt0: cops at 0x240, IRQ 5, in Tangent mode

is this an old ISA driver perhaps that should i exclude from this 
randconfig testing?
