>Description:
	The problems started when i wanted to set up the machine,
	with the pccard inserted in the pcmcia slot, i got
	panics when the boot floppy kernel probed the devices.
	as the card sometimes works (i will explain later)
	there is no problem, so i was able to set up the machine.

	On booting the machine, the start up hangs, and after booting
        the machine would hang when i insert the card. That means
	the keyboard is not reacting. When i remove the card every
	thing is fine again.

	on booting, when card is inserted, i get following output:

	...
	acpi_cpu: throttling enabled, 16 steps (100% to 6.2%), currently 100.0%
	cbb0: ready never happenend, status 4f
	CIS is too long -- truncating
	pccard0: Card has no functions!
	cbb0: PC Card card activation failed

	Here the machine just stops and does not react any more.
	When i remove the card the i continues boot and finishes
	without any problems.

	i have not altered kernel and userland - it is still the
	one that comes with 5.2-RC1.	
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	insert the card in pcmcia slot
