Error Message: "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr."

Hi there:
I wonder if I can get help on the following please:
- HW: TOSHIBA Satellite (Celeron M processor).
- SW: CD-ROM Knoppix for dual reboot with Windows XP. CD came with book Moving to Linux.
The systems freezes in the boot up process when the error message appears "PCMCIA found, starting cardmgr.".
Can anyone tell me what I am missing please?
Thanks.

Dear Marcel:
(1st) I am honored the book author took the time to read my questions/answer it. Thanks a lot.
(2nd) Thank you for your answer, it solved my problem, BUT once the system is up and running I realize I've no sound, any idea why?
(3rd) I'm in Germany. I'm the manager at an IT shop called Amadeus.com (Travel and IT solutions related). I've lived in Canada (YVR) for 3 years - working for IBM - and 2 of my 4 children are Canadians. I am very proud of it.
PS: as a manager, I no longer get paid to do tec, work, but I love it. I've background on a major mainframe OS from IBM called TPF. I will soon manage a team which will transition to Linux, so it might be a good idea to understand what they do :)
Thanks again!!!
