Okay I am going to download this.

So basically you can use only the bottom pcmcia slot. That is fine for 
me. I don't plan on using the machine as a gateway.

Okay here is where things begin to differ for me.
[bhorne at Slacker:bhorne, 05:37 PM, Sat Feb 12]>uname -r
5.3-RELEASE
I think I may need to do a cvsup and make sure I get a stable. I did a 
iso download. I thought I had grabbed a stable maybe not.

Okay things are really different for me here I went with GENERIC with 
useless stuff commented out and OLDCARD. I think that is all I did. I 
have not done anything with sound. I am don't think I did anything that 
would make usb and network items load as modules. They are there in the 
kernel. I never understood the suspense issue.

Okay again I went different here. I believe I have acpi disabled and apm 
enabled. I got all of my information from google searches when I was 
trying to deal with the interrupt storm.
You can read my device.hints at 
http://www.understudy.net/files/devicehints.txt . Take a look and tell 
me what you would change. I don't even remember what the original 
untouched one looks like.
