Hmm. When trying to load the pcmcia modules are you
getting unresolved symbols? What is are the error messages
that you have been getting? I have never used a laptop
so I don't know how much I can help. Although I do know
that there are version mismatches between the kernel
and the kernel source tree. (with the exception of the
non-smp kernel). The pcmcia modules made need to be
rebuilt. Also with RH6.0 you are running the
2.2.5 kernel not the 2.2.9 kernel. I wonder if this
is a bug in the pcmcia code in the 2.2.9 kernel.
