This is exactly what I did after I posted my kludge.. I knew
what I did was not the 'proper' way to do it, and I also probably left out
that I was working on it at 3am, and it was the logical fix at the
moment lol..  After posting another nblug'er posted about the start order,
so I changed my S24pcmcia to S09pcmcia and removed my script from S99local
and now the laptop works perfect.  only 1 failed service on startup, and
thats smartd, which I suspect my laptop doesnt support, so next I will
remove it.

I've never used chkconfig.. Interesting.. I will go edit this next
time I boot up the laptop =)  Thanks.
