To clarify the patch made no problems on the h12y, But if you install the patched kernel on a machine with pcmcia slot and insert a 8139 based lan card your get a kernel opps that point to the quirk code. I don't understand why because the code should do nothing if it doesn't detect a h12y subvendor id.

I doesn't use the patch anymore. I have added reserve=0xFFB00000,0x100000 to my kernel commandline and can use the normal kernel.

Detailed howto install is on my website.

I think the best way is a patch that reserve this memory if a H12Y system was detected but i have no idea how this can realized.
