PCMCIA modem not found... resume/suspend helps some times... magic is not found

Dear All,

I am still seeking for help...
Today I was upgrading to 2.6.17-mm6 from -mm4 and that damn modem was in
when I (soft) rebooted with fresh kernel. 
And it worked!
Here is the kern.log and dmesg (in the same directory) from that
successfull boot
http://www.onerussian.com/Linux/bugs/pcmcia.modem/golden.works/kern.log
succeeded with final lines

Jul  6 15:57:39 vaio kernel: cs: pcmcia_socket0: pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x100, 1)
Jul  6 15:57:39 vaio kernel: cs: pcmcia_socket0: pcmcia_write_cis_mem(1, 0x101, 1)
Jul  6 15:57:39 vaio kernel: 0.0: ttyS2 at I/O 0x3e8 (irq = 10) is a 16550A

it even worked when I ejected/placed back the card

it stopped working after soft reboot :-( and here is kern.log for that
one
http://www.onerussian.com/Linux/bugs/pcmcia.modem/golden.doesnt/kern.log
at the end of multiple pcmcia_read_cis_mem it reports:
Jul  6 16:34:51 vaio kernel: excluding 0x60000000-0x60ffffff
Jul  6 16:34:51 vaio kernel: cs: warning: no high memory space available!

btw - it seems to be not a modem issue... I've tried my WG511 wireless
pcmcia card and ident doesn't find it either... though I remember it was
working some long time ago (with much older kernel)... I didn't try it
whenever I've "succeeded" after reboot...

Please kick me in the right direction on what would be worth trying to
make sure that my pcmcia bridge works - may be increase various delays for
pcmcia_core and yenta_socket modules?
