Isn't there all sorts of kernel options on a Thinkpad? It screws up the
interrupts in a way that forces all sorts of workarounds. PCMCIA & Kernel rpms
probably will cause problems for a thinkpad. BTW, I don't own one - I've just
shared the pain of others on mailing lists. Get a tarball of the pcmcia package
& rebuild your kernel, unless you've been there & done that. Send an e-mail to
the guy who does the pcmcia package (Stephen Rothwell) as a last resort if you
find no information elsewhere, and I'd suggest the linux-laptop list - wherever
the (expletive deleted) they run it from now. I last heard of it at kernel.org.
