pcmcia-modules troubles on bootup

I (part) upgraded testing on my Toshiba Satellite laptop yesterday, and
noticed it was putting in two new kernel images (2.4.24 & 25), with
associated pcmcia-modules.
OK -- I followed all the on-screen instructions, and then re-booted as
requested.
Bummer.
Machine gets to:
Starting PCMCIA services: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
...
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 02:04:0
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 02:04:1
.. and locks solid.
All attemepts to boot from a rescue disk give pretty much the same
result. Fortunately, I've got a copy of Fedora on the laptop as well,
so I can get to the Debian partition that way. Can anyone help in
telling me what to kill and whereabouts in the boot process, to stop the
machine from even thinking about attempting to suss the two card slots?
(Getting the card slots operational is a problem I can sort later.
I don't even really need them, as the machine is usually networked, and
I would only ever use one slot anyway, for a modem in lieu.)
Any and all help appreciated. (Kernel images were successfully upgraded
- no problem there.)

kernel-pcmcia-modules or pcmcia-modules? Unless you have a
PCI-but-not-Cardbus bridge, you should use kernel-pcmcia-modules.

mv /etc/rc2.d/S20pcmcia /etc/rc2.d/K20pcmcia

You could try to delete some resource ranges in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts. I know Fedora has different resource ranges
there.

Thanks Per -- problem now sorted!
(I'd only just painfully worked out where I should be looking; but I
hadn't thought of renaming, as opposed to blowing away entirely.)

kernel-pcmcia-modules. My sloppiness of expression 
Now all I need to know is where KDE sets the font it uses for the login
box -- it's defaulted to some curious and unreadable grotesque font,
but, unlike Gnome, doesn't give you an option to play with font settings
from the login box itself.
Any clues on that one, anyone?

dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig and enable bitmapped fonts and it will
deuglify things. (fontconfig looks like it's s'posed to replace the
bitmap fonts that KDE wants with nicer ones but seems to choose really
yucky ones instead. I should probably work out what's going on and
file a bug...)
The font can also be changed in the KDE Control Centre - under System
Admin/Login Manager/Font.
Cheers,
Cameron.
