Dell 8100s behave badly probing a certain port range. Comment out the
line in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts that looks like this:
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x800-0x8ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
and add in this line:
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0xc00-0xcff
You will need to do this in single user mode, or using a kernel that
doesn't have the pcmcia modules (so the cardmgr can't start up). I
found this solution at http://www.linux-on-laptops.com.
