do you have some options in there that look useful regarding
irq-settings/cardbus?
try to get acpi working. if it's possible, but a toshiba bios is a good
sign. i bet acpi will get you around your irq problem (if non of the two
commandline options mentioned in your dmesg output fix it).

if acpi just doesn't show up in your dmesg you can still try
"acpi=force". if it's a precompiled kernel there might be a safety
option turned on, preventing the use of acpi on older hardware.
a quick search on google "toshiba 2100 acpi linux" won't be bad ;)
instantly found some sites talking 'bout acpi on the toshi 2100. i'm
quite sure you'll find useful info there. also take a look at
http://www.linux-laptop.net and http://tuxmobil.org

oh, don't worry. they sometimes don't even change modelnumbers if they
use another chipset.
a "lspci (-v)" will tell.
