Tried modprobe-ing i82365 and got the same reaction, probably because
pcmcia_core was pulled in as well (as you noted). With the rc6 CD, I'm just
booting, hitting enter a few times to get to the prompt and then "modprobe
pcmcia_core", "modprobe i82365", "modprobe ds", "cardmgr -f", "dhcpcd eth0".
Works like a charm every time. I did not try insmod directly, now that I think
about it, but I would presume that the modules are being pulled by modprobe
from /lib/modules or wherever they live on the rc6 CD (and the 1.0 CD).

Other than the above clarifications, I can't provide much more. As I said, the
laptop is completely disabled when I modprobe pcmcia_core. :^(

FWIW, I am now well on my way to getting GNOME back up, so I'm past the
problem. I thought I'd point out that the 1.0 CD didn't work for me in case
someone else comes along and has a similar problem.
