It's a flaky BIOS problem 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Re: Question: TP390X, 512MB, and PCMCIA (Andrew Newton)
Date: 2000, Feb 09
From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org> 

I know what's wrong.  The ThinkPad BIOS configures the CardBus bridge
at address 0x10000000 regardless of how much memory is installed.
This address happens to equal 256MB, so if you've got 512MB installed,
the bridge is configured to sit in the middle of your system memory.

Get the latest (09-Feb-00) beta PCMCIA package from sourceforge.org in 
/pcmcia/NEW, and set:

    CORE_OPTS="cb_mem_base=0x20000000"

in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia and it should work with 512MB installed.

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
