With a little research I was able to help myself.
For others interested, most info came from here:
http://www.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/div/iri/Archiv/LinuxPPC/PCMCIA.html
and here:
http://www.ike-dyn.ritsumei.ac.jp/~tkoba/linuxppc/pcmcia-e.html
and I used a stock 2.2.18 kernel off kernel.org, patched, compiled,
compiled pcmcia and that's it.
The only problem is the usb keyboard - the keys are all messed up but
I'm sure I can fix that.
YDL does the bad job of not installing all dev stuff *needed* as
dependancies when installing kernel source as if one installs the source
just to look at it.
