I have a machine HP ze4315us that would not boot until I disabled USB 
legacy support in bios and booted with acpi=on in the grub.conf file.

If the problem only happens with the ORiNOCO installed, I have no idea.

The apparent lockup at pcmcia is misleading. This is the symptom that I 
had with the usb-legacy enabled and without acpi=on inserted into grub.conf.


Good luck!
