If you are running 4.3-RELEASE, I've found I need to:
1) turn on Plug-and-Play OS in the BIOS
and
2) Assign an IRQ to the PCMCIA controller (pcic0) and not use
polling mode
to prevent the kind of lock-up you described on machines with
the Ricoh controller. You can do 2) by recompiling a new kernel
and replacing the "irq 0" with a free IRQ or if you boot with the
-c flag into configuration mode (command line, for some reason you
can't set the IRQ in visual mode). I've only done the compile-new-kernel
method as I'm compiling a new kernel for other reasons ("vn", for one).
If you are running -CURRENT, sorry, I don't know.
Hope this helps,
