If this is a desktop, pcmcia will not be enabled by default.  If it is a
laptop, please allow it to activate pcmcia and see if it works before
deciding that it needs to be disabled.  Ubuntu includes different versions
of software than Mandrake, and it's possible that your problem has been
fixed.

$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

find the line which looks like this:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro

add your options to the end:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro noapic nolapic acpi=off

and run "sudo update-grub", then reboot.
