*** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power - reservee= doesn't help

[Elmar Athmer]

Hello

When trying to install my new Orinoco PCMICA Card I got this error:
"PCMCIA: socket dfc4142c: *** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power"

With the help of http://pcmcia.arm.linux.org.uk/ I tried to fix the 
problem by passing reserve=0xd0209000,0x5000 to the kernel at system 
boot resultig in "20001000-20001fff : yenta_socket" at /proc/iomen, (the 
system has 512 MB RAM).

On the website was said if the doesn't solve the problem, please report 
it to the Mailinglist, so that's what I'm doing now.

I'm using Kernel 2.6.8 from debian, only with the bootsplash-Patch, with 
2.6.10 I have problems with the sound, that's why I'm using the "old" 
Kernel.

Here's what dmesg gives me when I booted the Kernel with reserve=...

Since the Messages about the BIOS are different, at the end of my Mail I 
added the messages of the Kernel without "reserve="

So, anybody could help me?
Elmar
