That's what I'm trying to figure out! When I first boot my rescue disk, it
identifies itself as a 2.0.29 kernel, but when I copied the kernel and base
files to my notbook and rebooted, a uname -a revealed that I have 2.0.32
installed -- so the pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-modules that come on the disc
(cheapbytes debian 1.3.1 cd) don't work.

When I do this, I get an error at boot time about the versions not being the
same and then Card Services exits...

The cd is on another box. My laptop doesn't have a cd-rom drive or network
card, so I have to get it up and going via floppy and then install
everything else via dpkg-ftp with the modem.
