Hi Terry,

Yes, the information you're sending certainly indicates that its trying
to load sound and related modules for an Intel i810--type chipset.  The
i810 (and its derivatives) are cheap-o unified-memory designs where the
main memory is used for everything including video.  They've had spotty
Linux support.

Are you sure you have pcmcia installed and working?  I'm not familiar
with Mandrake, but with Red Hat its a separate RPM (that is, not part of
the kernel RPM).  And if pcmcia is installed on your system, why are we
not seeing any messages from it when you insert a pcmcia/cardbus card? 
Its going to be hard for anyone to debug pcmcia issues without
feedback...

Ed

ps - try: "rpm -qa | grep -i pcmcia"
