===================

  

 now I get the same insmod error when it starts, 
    

The same error you were getting just before?
The "success" one?  Or an earlier one?

It would be *much* easier if you simply quoted
the error message.

  

causing a lack of drivers in .proc/devices...
    

A "lack of drivers in .proc/devices" ???
I'm afraid you've lost me.  What drivers ?
Do you mean /proc/devices ?  Are you saying
it's messing up the device list in /proc/devices ?
How do you know?  Is that mentioned in the error
message?

Cheers,
Steven
  

Ok, so here's the error message (I didn't have enough time to copy it all down last night, sorry)

So I reverted /etc/pcmcia/start back to the other module, and I get

At the second try, the drive spins, whereas the first time it didn't
With this I assume that tcic.o is not right for this laptop, something that is further proven by the model, which is a IBM Thinkpad 560 (not the 560X), and some info on the PCMCIA can be found here: http://arctic.org/~dean/tp560/
No mention of the use of PCMCIA CDROMs are there...
