no go with pcmcia and adding pci=noacpi to grub.conf

I added the argument to grub.conf for the latest kernel. PCMCIA is still 
a lockup condition with the newer kernels. All kernels previous to the 
kernel that was on the severn beta disc would also cause this problem. 
I'm basically wondering how this one particular kernel works and only 
the one after the severn riginal kernel version have made it to full 
boot, without locking up n pcmcia. Below is my grub.conf file.

#boot=/dev/hda
default=2
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.22-1.2049.nptl)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2049.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi 
pci=noacpi
         initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2049.nptl.img
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl)
         root (hd0,1)
         kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ 
hdc=ide-scsi
         initrd /initrd-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl.img
title xp
         rootnoverify (hd0,0)
         chainloader +1

Sorry for the wraparound for the lines.

Jim
