My computer locked up before on the pcmcia module and was resolved by 
adding acpi=on to the grub.conf file.

I think that there are too many overlapped IRQs overlaping without acpi 
enabled. This seems to lockup people on devices that are not really at 
fault.


I hope this works for you. ACPI is great for a lot of different things, 
other than irq management.
