I have a mistake in my instructions here.  It should say, on the first 
line, modprobe pcmcia_core.  Sorry about that - violated the old rule of 
"coffee first, then email" again this morning.

Hmmm.  This is the message that you should get after the first "modprobe 
yenta_socket."  Then, if you issue "modprobe yenta_socket pci=biosirq" 
you should get the pcmcia slots working.  However, we are assuming that 
the the fix for your machine is the same as for mine.  Maybe not...

Hmmmm.  Now that sounds like what occurs when the base address is not 
where the driver expects it to be.  But I have only seen it for pcmcia 
chips that use the i82365 driver.  What happens when you try

modprobe pcmcia_core
modprobe i82365

?
