Cardbus/PCMCIA socket problems with Suse 10.1

[Niph]

Hey..

I have succesfully used Suse 9.3 and 10.0 before. But now that I've updated to 10.1 my cardbus/pcmcia socket appears to be no longer recognized !

I'm not sure what information you need to help, so please tell me if you need some more !
I have an Acer Aspire 1302XV (about 4 years old) with Suse 10.1 (upgraded from 10.0, tried 10.1 on its own as well but the system was very unstable, pcmcia problems were identical).
I also tried installing the correct drivers for my WLan card (pcmcia -> Sitecom WL-112 , Ralink RT2500 chipset) before finding out the cardbus was the main problem.

At the moment I have internet acces through Eth0 (Acer Incorporated [ALI] VT6102 [Rhine-II] )

TIA !

Anyone ?

[watologo]

Maybe one of these boot params do help?:
pci=noacpi
or (depends whether apic got activated, if you have interrupts assigned greater than 15 in /proc/interrupts apic is activated):
noapic
or (if apic was not active, maybe enabling helps):
lapic

I am new here, might take some time until I answer...
