2.4.17-pre4/5 card services oops

[pHilipp Zabel]

Hi!

When I insert any pcmcia card (cardmgr 3.1.29 running), I get the
following Oops on a Dell Inspiron 8000 with Debian sid and
linux kernel 2.4.17-pre4 or 2.4.17-pre5 installed (this does not
happen with 2.4.16):

a lsmod just before inserting a card revealed this:
