Theo,
PCMCIA options are in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts
There is a line:
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
Maybe the new pcmcia needs to have these adjusted? They look
suspicious. video ROM is 0xc0000-0xc7fff(32KB) and system ROM is
0xf0000-0xfffff. The large memory region is for cardbus(pci). Insert
the card with an Xterm open running tail -f /var/log/messages and see if
you can tell what memory region is being tried.
You could try changing the low mem region to 0xd0000-0xeffff which
should be free unless your video bios > 32KB or you have card with an
option ROM(SCSI, etc.).
I'm just guessing. Don't have a laptop at home, just at work.
