It looks as if the card is there, but no driver is loaded for it.
Hence the interrupt does not get reserved, and Linux gives the
IRQ away to the serial port, unaware that this results in a
conflict.  The solution is to put 'exclude irq 3' in
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts.

What you need is CONFIG_PNPBIOS=y.  The pnpbios driver is
only available in -ac kernels, currently.  (You can also
use the old driver that is still provided with the pcmcia
modules, but that driver is buggy.)

Best to leave Quick Boot disabled.

You might just ignore ALSA until Linux 2.6, which will have
ALSA built in.
