Well, you can do a couple of things. You could boot into single user mode by entering "linux single" (quotes mine) at the boot prompt. This will boot you into single user mode and possibly get you past the problem. Then you could mount your hd and go into /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ (or rc5.d depending on whether you boot into X or not) and simply find your Sxxpcmcia file (xx=some number) and change it to Kxxpcmcia. This will prevent it from loading when you boot next. Then you can t-shoot from there. If you can't boot in single user mode, go get a Linux boot disk like the one here: http://www.toms.net/rb/ and boot with that. Good luck!
