I had this,

or this,

with an older version of pcmcia. I'm not really sure when the problems went
away, but my laptop is very happy now.

A way to get the serial port to work, for me, was
# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq 0
# setserial /dev/ttyS2 irq <n>
where <n> is the irq given by cardservices. I'm not sure what was wrong or
why this works, but I hope it helps (a little).

Good luck,
Ben.
