On my HP Pavilion ze1115 notebook that uses yenta-socket, the
following patch applied between 2.6.13-rc7 and 2.6.13 makes the
computer hang during boot if my Linksys WPC54G wifi card is plugged
in. I have not tested with any other PCMCIA cards. The console output
reports "acpi modules loaded .......done", then the machine hangs.
The next line that should be "Starting powersaved" never appears.
This fix has been reported to the kernel Bugzilla.

Just wanted to give a heads-up to this list.
