In summary, I can get the light on my pcmcia ethernet card to light if I use kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4, but not if I use kernel-image-2.4.18-586tsc. I've looked at error messages when kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 log and found clues, which lead me to try restarting pcmcia in init.d. (Along the way to this point, I rebuilt the kernel and the pcmcia modules using make-kpkg.) For this I got an error message that may contain the answer to my problem, but I don't understand the message. It is:
# /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart ... Starting PCMCIA services: modulesLinux PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.33 kernel build: 2.4.18-bf2.4.0 unknown options: [pci] [cardbus] [apm] Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:13.0.

What keystrokes should I type? What program should I invoke? What context should I set up, prior to trying to use this magic word? Please give some guidance.
