Is the trouble because they changed the file?  If so then I don't know how it
would be affecting me.  This is off a clean system booting up for the first time
with no modifications to config files or security.  The errors I'm seeing in the
bootup logs are:

PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:10.0.
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:10.1.
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:13.0.
PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin B of device 00:13.1.

lspci shows the four pcmcia slots correctly and identifies them as Ricoh which
is what they are.
