I just went to a zImage and the laptop is happy.  I am still wrangling with
pcmcia-source, but I can always go back to the original kernel which I kept
as backup.  I am also getting unresolved dependency errors for modules when
I boot to the new kernel.  I will find a fix for that too, I am sure.

I am using a README in /usr/doc/pcmcia-source ATM and though it explains
things pretty well, I still don't have compliance from my laptop.
