Freaky, Friday 13th and I've got to catch a plane today, could be fun.

Been fighting with thinkpads recently. It appears that on the a22p the internal ethernet adapter is hardwired to irq 11. Failure to load a driver or activate the adapter stops all other interrupts from getting to the cardbus subsystem.
Need to see if there is a way to move the cardbus stuff around to use a different interrupt.

On a more positive note, all the latest olympic changes made it into 2.4.6, the ibmtr changes are still in the -ac patches and hopefully will make it in for 2.4.7.
