Thanks very much Jar for trying to help me here.

Unfortunately i'm not sure what to edit in my /etc/init.d/pcmcia script to
make this work, or why it should be a problem.

At the end, as you say, the card is found - but not successfully loaded
(the unsuccessful loading bleeps occur, and messages about this)

I concur with you, it seems like something is loading the card twice,
somehow in the wrong order or something, but i can't figure out where.
I also don't really see what is asking for the yenta socket to be loaded.

Initially i had included i82092 as i thought it had been in my previous
(and functioning) kernel, but now i've got so confused i now longer know.
as i said, though whether i include this via modconf or not has no real
impact.

can anyone help us any further? Its all a bit too much for me to figure
out by myself what is possibly wrong/incompatible with the init script.

well maybe, but i have to be honest, its all a bit much for me to figure
out from looking at the init script - extremely grateful if someone can
help debug.
