I have a similar (possibly the same) problem on my noname-laptop.
It works fine without cardbus support compiled in (Christian's IRQ
probing works OK too), but with cardbus support, and my PCMCIA
3c589 card inserted, it panics. It seems to mess up scanning the
CIS info. I don't know why, perhaps the pointer it gets is wrong
to begin with, because it retrieves the information just fine
when I only have PCMCIA enabled.

My noname lap has a "2 Micro Inc" cardbus bridge, which is recognized
by the cbb code. Its product ID is 6832, and I assume that they wanted
to indicate that it's Cirrus 6832 compatible with that.

The docs for this chip are available on their website, but I don't
have time to look into this, unfortunately.
