memory_cs is *very* suspicious here. I get that
loaded when my system isn't
working properly (it's supposed to refer to a PCMCIA
memory card, which I
presume you aren't using). You didn't mention what
model laptop you have.
On my Toshiba laptop (490CDT) I found I had to
switch the BIOS setting for
the PCMCIA ports to 16 bit only (no cardbus), to
stop that problem happening.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The laptop is a Sony Vaio f250 and the card is a
NetGear ethernet card model FA510c which
is a 32-bit CardBus card. Could you educate me on the
terminology here? Does CardBus
mean a 32-bit port?
How did you tweek your BIOS settings?
----------------------------------------------------------------
But recompiling your kernel is the best thing to do
first. Don't forget to
recompile the pcmcia-modules as well when you do.

Probably related to the memory_cs problem.

The user program for dealing with pcmcia-cs is
cardctl, but don't forget
there's plenty of documentation in /usr/share/doc.
You can restart
pcmcia-cs with "/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart" (but you
might get the "busy"
message again if you try).
-----------------------------------------------------------
no it seems to work fine.
#/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgr modules
Starting PCMCIA services: modules cardmgr
