Likely /linuxrc is trying to mount /dev/fd0u1680 somehow; try going
through the shell script and see what it is.  It might be "boot=" in
your kernel parameters; check it - they're in syslinux.cfg.

You sure it's not an interrupt conflict?

I'm beginning to wonder if PCMCIA isn't just a "hotpluggable" ISA
slot..... after getting used to HP-9000s and their TRUE hot-swappable
devices, I always thought PCMCIA was the same way.  Insert a card, and
it instantly configures and connects and sets up.  Pull a disk, no
problem.  Insert a disk, no problem.  No down-time....  PCMCIA is more
like this: insert, configure, adapt, pull, reinsert, retry,
reconfigure, reboot...
