Actually, below is for the pcmcia card.

PCMCIA card services is coming up fine. However, I think your PCMCIA
card service is not identifying your card. Check in
/etc/pcmcia/config to see if you card is listed.

This section of your cdrom. The system is finding the hardware, but
it can't find an available interupt to bind it to. Check
/proc/devices to see what devices are available for use and
/proc/interupts to see what's being used by which interupt.

The modules will load, but there are no binding behind them to allow
you to use them.
