Martin,
Another reply gave me the solution, it appears this is a known problem with Dell laptops and a need to exclude a certain resource range of '0x800-0x8ff'.
I did however also check to see if passing hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false would work and it did.
Thank you for your time and prompt reply.
Sincerely,
Mike Fledzinskas

Can you pass the hw-detect/start_pcmcia=false option when you boot and see if that works? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
