Right now the documentation is the source code.  Your problem is almost 
certainly a conflict either in the IRQ assignment or the I/O assignment.
Unfortunately, the current state of 3.0 IRQ and I/O assignment is such that
you may end up having to hard-code the assignments into the kernel once you
find a combination that works.

What I did to find working combinations was to insert debugging printfs all
through the pccard code wherever it checked for available IRQ's and I/O 
slots, so I could see exactly where it was failing and why.
