I got really annoyed because my disk was constantly filling up with these log messages, and having hald use 50% of my CPU all the time isn't too cool either. I don't think I was even able to log into KDE with a full disk. It's a good thing I'm a degree-bearing computer scientist and not my grandmother, or I would have had to seek professional help.
Thanks, original reporter, for this number: i82365. It was a PCMCIA driver. Since my desktop doesn't have any PCMCIA slots, it was safe to find i82356 and remove it here:
I had the same problem. I am using Edgy Eft.

root@cardamom: /lib/modules/ 2.6.19. 2-dwh/kernel/ drivers# ls pcmcia/
i82092.ko i82365.ko pcmcia_core.ko pcmcia.ko pd6729.ko rsrc_nonstatic.ko tcic.ko yenta_socket.ko
rm -rf pcmcia/
The log messages stopped immediately.
To fix it for your machine:
cd /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers
rm -rf pcmcia
I will be sure not to compile PCMCIA support into my next kernel.
