I think it will on some systems - I've been fighting with my pcmcia problems
for a while now. It seems my BIOS on my Dell Inspiron 8k doesn't assign PnP
stuff well and pcmcia is the last straw for it.
With mine pcmcia works fine with 2.2.18 as long as I configure PnP BIOS
resource checking in pcmcia-cs. If I turn if off I get a lockup when I start
cardmgr.
I get this same lockup when trying to use pcmcia with 2.4 kernel even though
I don't compile in pcmcia/cardbus support to the kernel, I use pcmcia-cs. Of
course with the 2.4 kernels there is no BIOS pnp handling. So I can't turn
that option on in pcmcia-cs config.
