Out of interest, is it the same cardbus card you're inserting into
the socket as the problem mentioned above?

I think what is suspected is that the Cardbus card is holding its
interrupt output active.  This normally shares the same interrupt
as the yenta socket status change interrupt, and, since we're
listening for interrupts from the card, it causes this problem.

A thought: can you reproduce this problem with 2.4?  Has this cardbus
card been used with other Linux kernels?  On other machines?

I suspect what you'll find is that any Linux kernel on any machine
with this card will exhibit this problem - which would prove my
theory.
