I am experiencing something like this. I did find a very odd workaround: delete /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/pcmcia. For some reason, this makes modprobe look in /lib/modules/KERNELVERSION/drivers/pcmcia/. I figured this out by stracing the first modprobe of /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start. Ugh. Note: I didn't change any options. I used the canned 686 config. I wonder *why* this is necessary.
