I just mentioned that to Ralf but he wasn't sure where they are coming from. I took a quick look and the cause is the irq probing being done by the ide code. I don't know if that's "normal" but it feels like there's something not quite right. On the bright side, the new ide patches Ralf checked in fix the ide-cs pcmcia driver and with the new pcmcia pb1500 patch I checked in (and with new CPU silicon), you can now use the pcmcia slot on the Pb1500.
