so, just adding a little more information that might give someone an
idea of what's going on.
i went through the install process without configuring the PCMCIA
stuff. on the first reboot, instead of allowing the normal first boot
process to take place (i.e. change root password, create user account,
run dselect, etc.), i booted into single user mode and manually
installed all the packages needed to compile a new kernel and pcmcia
modules/utilities.
using tarballs for most combinations of 2.2.{10,11,12} kernel sources
and 3.{0.14,1.0,1.1,1.2} pcmcia sources i've tried to compile a
working kernel and set of pcmcia modules. no such luck...
i think i've isolated the problem to the i82365 module. when i boot
into single user mode, i first manually load the pcmcia_core module,
which goes off without a problem. then, when i try to load i82365, it
prints out a couple lines of debugging (i think one line for each
socket), and then it locks the machine hard.
anyone have any clues? i'm getting a little desperate here...=(
