Comment 18 for bug 37430

I have just ran into this now :(

Same dmesg, same PCMCIA hanging. My only difference was the whole computer locked up at some step after CTRL+C ing the configuring of pcmcia-cs package. After rebooting into rescue move (adding rw init=/bin/bash to my kernel line in grub), I tried to run dpkg --configure -a. It is still hanging on the pcmcia-cs package. :( I removed it but it broke other dependencies. I guess I'll be spending some more time on this :(.
