Help kernel 2.4.18 on compaq evo n600c (SEC: UNCLASSIFIED)

Ok I have had enough of trying to figure this out and am hoping that someone
can help me out.

I have a brand new Compaq evo n600C. I recently had Red Hat 7.2 installed on
it with no problems. I then thought to change to Mandrake 8.2 as I like it
better and have since run into a few problems. (I did have the PCMCIA
troubles on both Red Hat and Mandrake) I am currently trying to compile
kernel 2.4.18.
The first problem I get (as you will see in the following) is a resource
conflict that I didnt have in RH. I then get something looking for 8
different ethernet devices. And finally, when trying to insert my Adaptec
SlimSCSI 1460D PCMCIA card the X server crashes. Here are the logs I get
from syslog.....

As far as I can see the card manager starts ok but causes X to crash, but I
dont know why. Can anyone help, I am getting really frustrated with this.

Thanks
