rc.pcmcia locks up the system

[gautam]

If I run rc.pcmcia on Slackware 10.2 on kernel 2.6.13 on a toshiba Satellite A100 seems to lock up the system. I modprobe the modules manually and they seem to work.

Any ideas what could be wrong and how I would troubleshoot this.

Thanks

The rc.pcmcia is as shipped - no changes were made to it. The following is the script content.
