Dell Inspiron 3500, D-Link DMF-560TX eth/modem cardmgr, when run from rc5.d/S45pcmcia, does not successfully load 8390, pcnet_cs, and serial_cs. However, if I kill it and rerun it manually from a root shell, it loads these modules fine. I'm not sure where to look next. Syslog output from the S45pcmcia invocation: Sep 28 21:35:33 localhost kernel: cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: clean.

Reinstalling RH 6.0 made the problem go away (I don't know why)
