Ouch, that's a bit old.

I would suggest a fresh 2.6.19 kernel from ftp.<country>.kernel.org.

Mine too. You'll need Yenta and either PCMCIA IDE or PCMCIA PATA
support, or possibly both of the latter. I've started to use the
experimental PCMCIA PATA code with success.

Updating from udev-084/087 to udev-104 made hotplugging work on a
system I worked on yesterday. With the older udev I had to run
pcmcia-socket-startup manually to get the socket going.


Generally, try the latest version of both kernel and udev and see if
it works better. There have been a lot of changes lately, all for the
better. :)
