For the intel PCMCIA at least, you may need to specify which PCMCIA hardware you have. There are a number of chipsets that the PCMCIA system does not automatically identify.
I think this is in a readme in the kernel sources, but as I remember, check out /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. One of the items lets you say which type of PCMCIA interface there is. I know nothing about Powerbook hardware, so I can say no more. What gets printed in /var/log/messages when a card is inserted?
