up to 2.6.16 everythink worked fine for me.

in 2.6.17 uplugging my xi-325 card sometimes killed kernel, but loading 
pcmcia-cs was fine...

in 2.6.18-rc1, only running pcmcia-cs package caused kernel freeze! :(

Any solution? Any workaround?

My distribution is Debian testing

Thanks a lot for help
