S1 Spawning problem ..

["john.d.smith" <john.d.smith@xtra.co.nz>]

Very new to Linux,
Have loaded onto a Toshiba Satellite 110CS Laptop, with two PCMCIA Cards,
1 A CNET NE2000 Compatible, and the other a Motorola Montana, 33.6 k,
I appear to have a problem with cardmgr as periodically i.e. every 5 minutes
I get a cascade of bad command faults and the last line reads, S1 spawning
to fast  .. pausing for 5 minutes.
I have looked in inittab and S1 line reads like
S1 12345 Spawn...

What is happening exactly, is it because the PCMCIA manager does not support
the modem card?
