Re: woody installation bug
Hi,
I had somewhat similar experience with PCMCIA on Toshiba notebook.
But you may want to chack few more things before filing bug.

That's when PCMCIA initialization works flawlessly. Few case can cause
this. (Mine was irq conflict)

I have hard time following but this sounds nothing wrong.

Wait. Did you upgrade kernel too? What happens if you reboot without
changing sources.list. Or what happens if you stay with 2.2 kernel.
2.4 pre-compiled kernels (kernel-image) are much more modular than 2.2
counter parts. You need to do insmod to get them working. This means
editing /etc/modules by hand before reboot.

I think you need to test above first. "Debian reference" also discuss
how to configure 2.4 kernels.
