i82365 on VAIO: 30 seconds left to live

Hi

I have this (old) VAIO Z600 TEK and made the mistake (?)
to install a new SuSE (8.2). 
After much has been reported on ide2=0x180,0x386 and
various combinations of workarounds in the pcmcia configs,
my system keeps on locking, when I insert the CDROM.

The funny thing: It gives me about 30 seconds to continue
working with the machine before it stops.
And: the device had worked during installation, strange enough..

Is this a new symptom? Has anyone else experienced that?
Should I send more information/logs/diags?

thanks for any hints
Stephan
