Here's the commit that introduced the regression: """ commit 509b0865fbd8ab6c820397706dde980c1c285538 Author: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> Date: Thu Apr 8 19:23:07 2010 +0200 pcmcia: fix io_probe due to parent (PCI) resources Similar to commit 7a96e87d, we need to be aware of any parent PCI device when requesting IO regions, even only for testing ("probing"). Reported-by: Komuro <komurojun-mbn@nifty.com> Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net> """ Since this commit, do_io_probe() probes I/O ranges it didn't probe before, which results in random freezes on my machine (and a few others, after doing a quick search for "cs: IO port brobe + freeze"). Fow now, I disable IO probing by setting pcmcia_rsrc.probe_io=0, but it should probably be looked into. I'm attaching /proc/ioports.

If this is still present in modern kernels please update the bug
This does indeed still happen in kernel 3.16.7 (from Debian 8.2) on applicable hardware (Compaq R3000 series notebook, R3306US in my case.)
Using the boot option pcmcia_rsrc.probe_io=0 gets around the problem.
