You probably have wrong /etc/pcmcia/config.opts They have to be set differently depending on the machine model, and it seems no distribution ever got that right (of course, debian doesn't care and just stuff x86 values in there). You need to find port and memory ranges that are on the same bus as the PCMCIA controller and that are not already used by anything else, using cat /proc/ioports and cat /proc/iomem to pick such ranges. Just setup one IO and one memory range and remove all the other cruft. Don't use the "old" pcmcia-cs, use the kernel pcmcia code with the version of pcmcia-cs built to rely on it (whatever debian provides here should be fine) Ben.
