[ltp] Problem booting with Fedora Core 1

[Dan Sawyer]

This may only be a partial answer; on my 600x if I configure pcmcia as 
part of the kernel my system works just fine. If I configure is as a 
module it does not work.

You may have to recompile your kernel to move pcmcia from a module to 
compiled with the kernel.
