You probably said 'yes' to a question about starting a terminal on the
serial line of your pcmcia card, without giving the proper parameters (there
are no good defaults).
There is an option in /etc/pcmcia/serial.opt set to 'YES'. Set it to 'NO'.
I'm not sure about the filename and too lazy to look up the option, but it
is documented in the PCMCIA-HOWTO
