The "resource" in question might be IRQs - check your
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts and make sure it isn't being told to allow the
cardbus to use an IRQ that something else is hungry for.
Common contenders are your IR port (often irq 7) sound ports (usu. 5 but it
can vary) and pci or compact-pci NIC cards (varies, but especially
annoying when they steal IRQ 9, which many things are otherwise willing
to share).
All the best
