I had a similar problem. I turned off all PCMCIA support in the kernel.
I don't know why it's there in the first place (seems to be new with
2.4.x).
These little snippets are from my woody partition (I'm typing this on my
potato partition).
potato:~# grep -i pcmcia /mnt/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/.config
# PCMCIA/CardBus support
# CONFIG_PCMCIA is not set
# CONFIG_PHONE_IXJ_PCMCIA is not set
potato:~# ls -lR /mnt/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs/ | grep orinoco
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root src 99701 Oct 19 23:53 orinoco.c
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root src 4107 Oct 9 23:01 orinoco.h
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root src 23503 Oct 19 23:53 orinoco_cs.c
potato:~# ls -lR /mnt/usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.17/ | grep orinoco
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100085 Oct 9 18:13 orinoco.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4145 Oct 9 18:13 orinoco.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23327 Oct 9 18:13 orinoco_cs.c
