Aren't there some kernel messages preceding this? If the kernel
hasn't managed to find the socket hardware, then the cardmgr
doesn't stand a chance.

For example:

 kernel: Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.5 
 kernel:   kernel build: 2.0.34 #1 Tue Dec 1 23:20:37 GMT 1998 
 kernel:   options:  [pci] [cardbus] [apm] 
 kernel: Intel PCIC probe:  
 kernel:   TI 1220 CardBus at mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets 
 kernel:     host opts [0]: [pwr save] [serial pci & irq] [no pci irq] [lat 
168/176] [bus 32/34] 
 kernel:     host opts [1]: [pwr save] [serial pci & irq] [no pci irq] [lat 
168/176] [bus 35/37] 
 kernel:     ISA irqs (scanned) = 3,4,7,9,11 status change on irq 11 
 cardmgr[174]: starting, version is 3.0.5
 cardmgr[174]: watching 2 sockets
