This one is frustrating the hell out of me, and it seems like last time I got 
it to work I just got lucky or something, so I'm hoping one of you guys will 
actually know what I'm talking about and be able to help me get this going...
I downloaded the low-memory version of Debian onto floppies and
installed it onto my Crappy Laptop (tm) - a CompuAdd 486/25 with 4MB of ram. So 
I got the base image loaded fine.
Problem is, I can't get the PCMCIA port to work - during bootup, it gives me an 
error saying that the port is "Device or Resource busy," even if nothing's in 
it.
The pcmcia.conf file states that it should be set either to a tcic style or an 
i836214 (or something like that) style - I've tried both and have had the same 
problem both times (although I seem to remember tcic (the less popular one) 
being the one that worked.
What sucks is I have gotten it to work before after this same problem and I 
don't remember how. It is NOT a bad port, it has something to do with the 
configuration.
Anyone have any ideas I can try?
This thing might as well be a doorstop if I can't get a modem and/or NIC to 
work on it...
