Yeap - hold ESC while booting (the entire memory check) then press F1 to get the bios setup when prompted.

This caused me grief too - all the old howto docs said "cardbus is bad use i82365" which is wrong. In the BIOS turn the PCMCIA slots to CardBus. Now, some distributions seem to have an issue with the ds module, and the yenta_socket or i82365... my 2.4.18 kernel has i82365 used by ds which is used by hermes and friends, but when I boot 2.4.21 I have yenta_socket used by ds. YMMV. Are you sure your PCMCIA card is good?
