I was having this problem on my 600. Try booting with acpi=off kernel
flag. ACPI for some reason conflicts with the pcmcia/cardbus module/s,
at least in the 2.6.x kernel on etch.
And, of course, with acpi off you will not have any battery monitoring.
Consider trying the 2.4 kernel with acpi on to see if it will have this
issue (I was about to attempt this when the HDD to the laptop started
clicking and spitting errors. blah.)
