Ignore. pcmcia_core was installed the previous time
you executed /etc/pcmcia/start

Right the foundation modules are in.

So far so good.

Ignore.  Not-fatal warning.

Here we go...

Thinkpads can be difficult.  Old Thinkpads had nonstandard
floppy disks and required a special kernel parameter to run
Linux.  I have no idea whether Thinkpads have nonstandard
PCMCIA hardware (but it wouldn't surprise me).  I own four
different brands of laptops -- none of them is a Thinkpad.

Cheers,
