I just had a similar problem myself. If you look in the archives for this list for december, the last email by "dude" has a fairly detailed answer. Basically, the system does a scan whenever it starts cardmgr. If there is a resource conflict in the areas it scans, it will hang. I had to edit /etc/pcmcia/config.opts and tell it to exclude some resources. Which ones I think is specific to your particular system, on mine I had to add the line: exclude irq 5 so it would not conflict with the sould card.
To do this, boot into the installation using the DVD-ROM, and select the option "execute the shell". mount your harddisk with a command like: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt (this assumes that you are using the first partition on the first IDE drive as your root partition) Then cd /mnt/etc/pcmcia/ and use the ae editor to change config.opts. Maybe somebody else can comment as to which resources it would be good to exclude.
