Sounds like your initrd-<kernel version>.img does not have the pcmcia
modules in it.  After installing the new kernel, run mkinitrd
/boot/initrd-<new kernel-version>.img <new kernel-version>.  This should
pickup all the modules you need to get started.  The generic initial ram
disk may not have the laptop modules in it.
