i have the same problem with the same setup. from the logs, it looks
like this is due to a PCI resource allocation conflict:

Sep 17 15:56:33 prospero cardmgr[6838]: initializing socket 1

Sep 17 15:56:33 prospero kernel: 3c59x: vortex_probe1 fails. Returns -5

after i suspended the laptop and started again i got this:

Sep 18 11:36:47 prospero cardmgr[6838]: shutting down socket 1

Sep 18 11:36:59 prospero cardmgr[6838]: module /lib/modules/2.4.0-test9/pcmcia/memory_cs.o not available

it looks like the pcmcia daemon is really confused (pci=biosirq didn't
make any difference in the past). test9-pre1 worked fine (well, i
still had to do 'ifconfig eth0 up' by hand).
