Things were good yesterday:

Intel PCIC probe: TI 1450 rev03 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:02 mem 0x5013000

[snip, other good stuff]

Then, I installed OSS and things went bad next reboot:

Intel PCIC probe: Bad bridge mapping at 0x00003000! not found. ds: no socket drivers loaded

Please help, I'm going nuts !!

First thing to do: disable OSS and reboot

Can you uninstall OSS, or reconfigure it to not load any kernel
modules?  I don't understand why OSS would mess up your CardBus bridge
settings, but it would be worth verifying whether or not OSS is really
at fault here.

It appears that something has tried to remap your bridge at a base
address of 0x00003000, which is certainly bogus, since that address
would overlap the bridge with your system RAM.  I assume that you are
not specifying any unusual options for the PCMCIA modules?

Starting up with CORE_OPTS="cb_mem_base=0x50103000" seems to have fixed the problem. I'm still not sure what caused it in the first place, but the BIOS seems to be mis-configuring the CardBus bridge.
