Is this reproducible on the latest development kernel, currently v2.6.21-rc5? Please try both with and without pci=assign-busses

I am having troubble finding the package kernel development sources. Please advise. I have tried the gentoo, kubuntu and ubuntu live cd and they produce the same result.
You can find it in the vanilla-sources package or you can use ketchup http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2007/04/using-ketchup-to-quickly-install-kernel-sources/
Somewhere along the way a very small spring got jammed in the PCMCIA slot. Tha t is what caused the card not showing up in lspci anymore. It was extremely difficult to see and remove. I had a hard time finding non metal tools to remove it with and finaly settled for the end of 2 incense sticks. This was causing the card to not show up in lspci but still lit the LED's on the card. The original problem was fixed by appending the kernel boot line. It is safe to say "pci_get_subsys() called while pci_devices is still empty" means hardware issues if the power LED is lit on the card. Thank you for your time. Steps to reproduce: 1) Remove a small micro spring clip from a DVD drive. 2) Turn laptop on its side with pcmcia card slot facing up. 3) remove the PCMCIA card. 4) Drop the spring clip in the center of the PCMCIA slot. 5) Reinsert the card.
