Yes, this fixes the lockup issue (once I renamed addr to ioaddr in 
hp100_isa_probe1()
to get it to compile. Thanks for the patch!

Next order of business for me is to figure out why the ordering of device 
recognition
of e100 and hp100 changed between 2.6.0-test* and 2.6.3-mm2 (in the former, 
hp100 
started up first, while in the latter kernel e100 get's to load up first). I 
guess I 
could work around this in other ways, but it's a tad disconcerting when eth0, 
eth1 
and eth2 decide to trade places every so often ;)

Thanks again for the patch.
cheers,
karthik
