Your assumption about the unresolved symbols is correct, i82365 requires
pcmcia_core.

I have put the 2.2.20 kernel that is in woody on this system (a laptop
that uses i82365 for the bridge). However, I have have not seen it
panic (even after multiple boots). So, what does it say when the kernel
panics (it probably says something more than just "kernel panic")?
