You may need to compile the pcmcia drivers too -- get the pcmcia-source
package. 2.4.x kernels have their own pcmcia drivers, based on the
pcmcia-cs stuff, but there are still some differences between them, so
sometimes pcmcia-cs works but the built-in kernel doesn't. If you use
the pcmcia-cs modules, you may need to turn off PCMCIA support in the
kernel.
