I had the same problem. I am using Edgy Eft.

I got really annoyed because my disk was constantly filling up with
these log messages, and having hald use 50% of my CPU all the time isn't
too cool either. I don't think I was even able to log into KDE with a
full disk. It's a good thing I'm a degree-bearing computer scientist and
not my grandmother, or I would have had to seek professional help.

Thanks, original reporter, for this number: i82365. It was a PCMCIA
driver. Since my desktop doesn't have any PCMCIA slots, it was safe to
find i82356 and remove it here:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lib/modules/2.6.19.2-dwh/kernel/drivers# ls pcmcia/
i82092.ko  i82365.ko  pcmcia_core.ko  pcmcia.ko  pd6729.ko  rsrc_nonstatic.ko  
tcic.ko  yenta_socket.ko

rm -rf pcmcia/

The log messages stopped immediately.

To fix it for your machine:

cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers
rm -rf pcmcia

I will be sure not to compile PCMCIA support into my next kernel.
