This is a problem has been refered just 1 or 2 days before.

The problem is in PCMCIA subsystem.

When PCMCIA is loading, you can press keyboard some times, then
it will ok. Maybe a race condition or something like.

And you can enter runlevel 1 by LILO: linux 1 , from then on,
you can do something to avoid it at next boot.

It is said upgrading to pcmcia-cs-3.0.12 will resolv this problem. I will try
it too.
