Is your machine a laptop with pcmcia ports?
If so your problem could be the same as mine.

A few minutes ago, I have received a message 
from Zot who says that I should include the
following line :

PCIC_OPTS="irq_mask=0xefff"

in the

/etc/syscofnig.pcmcia

file. He found this info in the PCMCIA HOWTO.

I will try when I am back home. Cannot yet
tell you if it works.
