I can't speak to this specific notebook, but there are a couple of common issues that come up over and over. First, some systems seem to have trouble with polling mode on the PCIC. The GENERIC kernel used polling mode. Try building a new kernel with the line for "device pcic0" changed from irq 0 to irq 10. (10 is very commonly used for PCIC.) The other common problem is io memory collision. Try changing the iomem value for pcic0 from 0xd0000 to 0xd4000 or 0xd8000. Good luck, R.
