 Gareth,

thanks for asking, no, the work around didn't work for me. I am working
with a Dell Latitude C840. Instead of removing the executable bit from
pcmciautils, I did

update-rc.d - f pcmciautils remove
invoke-rc.d pcmciautils stop

in a root shell and inserted the card (UH-420 from Ultron, PCMCIA USB
2.0 adapter).

Same problem.

After this, activated pcmciautils again with

update-rc.d pcmciautils defaults

since the "fix" obviously wasn't one.

Following the original tip to the letter:

chmod -x pcmciautils
<reboot>
<card insert>

yielded the same lockup result as ever. Other PCMCIA cards tried (SCSI,
SD memory card adapter) work fine.

By the way: the problematic card runs fine under Linux in a Sidux
(Debian Sid) environment on a Dell Inspiron 9300. But it refuses to run
under Sidux live system 2008-01 with the Latitude C840. It runs under
Windows XP on the Latitude C840.
