ACPI causes PCMCIA to fail with Toshiba Laptop

I'm not sure if this is a pcmcia problem or a problem with acpi or my hardware.
If this is the wrong list can someone point me to the correct place to seek
help?

On a Toshiba 2805-S302 with 2.6.5 If I compile with ACPI I get this at
boot:


    PCI: Enabling device 0000:00:0b.0 (0000 -> 0002)
    ACPI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:00:0b.0 - using IRQ 255
    Yenta: CardBus bridge found at 0000:00:0b.0 [1179:0001]
    Yenta: ISA IRQ mask 0x0cb8, PCI irq 0

Does that mean the socket can't interrupt?  This makes me wonder if this
is an acpi issue.

BTW I have CONFIG_PCMCIA=y and CONFIG_YENTA=y.  When those were modules
just loading the yenta driver in the init.d/pcmcia script caused the
laptop to hang.

When my SMC2632W card tries to install I see:

Apr 20 22:45:43 localhost cardmgr[345]: socket 1: Intersil PRISM2 11 Mbps Wireless Adapter
Apr 20 22:45:43 localhost cardmgr[345]: executing: 'modprobe orinoco_cs'
Apr 20 22:45:43 localhost kernel: orinoco.c 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes at gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
Apr 20 22:45:43 localhost kernel: orinoco_cs.c 0.13e (David Gibson <hermes at gibson.dropbear.id.au> and others)
Apr 20 22:45:43 localhost kernel: orinoco_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use
Apr 20 22:45:44 localhost cardmgr[345]: get dev info on socket 1 failed: Resource temporarily unavailable


And then if I pull the card the system hangs.

If I disable acpi it works, but I'd like to get acpi working, if at all
possible without resorting to pci=noacpi or acpi=off.


Thanks,
